Engine Mount on passanger side
Hey guys,
Just got in my new engine mount and wanted to see if there was a way to replace it without removing the turbo/manifold. It seems like its pretty tight there.
Thanks,

Also, when I installed the turbo and lifted the engine, I was unable to get that screw that holds the entine mount in so basically its been riding without a scrwe for about a month.
I do have a engine torque damper which im sure helps with the mount issue. What are the dangers of running like this? All i notice is sometimes when taking off you would hear a little noise.

take the turbo off, replace the engine mount, and put the missing bolt back in before you have a fail moment

damage to the drive train or at least added stress on the other engine mount, trans, driveshaft, and rear and you having the hp you do its even worse...honestly look at this way...if you didn't have the turbo on you would fix the mount and have all the bolts in correctly...

If i was stock I would have a clear shot at it. My concern is having to take apart the turbo, manifold to get this in.
Does someone have a diy or some instruction syou can recommmend on how to do this with the least amount of work.
When i installed the turbo, I did attempt to install the bolt but it didnt want to go in, plus even if i screwed it in, dont thing I would have had a clear shot at screwing the bolt in due to the limited space.
On a side note, when i installed the turbo, it was in one piece. I just removed the waste gate to get it to fit. All i did was loosen the passanger side engine mount, tilted the engine, and then put the turbo/ turbo manifold and downpipe through. Then i dropped the engine back in its place.
