I talked to Mike about that, he's going to be using some kind of rubber isolator.

As well as triangulating the mounts.

Yea I would deff be putting some supports on that. I built my the exactly the opposite the big part of the mount is vertical with horizontal and diagonal supports. Good luck and it is looking good so far.

Yeah those pics are not of the mounts finished. I went and added a lot more to the mounts i also have rubber under between the mounts. I am not worred about the mounts im more worried on what im going to do with the hood. The engine hits the turbo hits so im thinking cowled hood or have the valve cover modded and make a cut out in the hood for the turbo.

That's a low mount turbo, how does it hit the hood?

Nagase

I think he's using it as a highmount.

So got my 35r today bolted it in and boom i now i only need 1.5inches to be able to close my hood.

Damn, that's sucks man.

I'm sure you could have a new manifold/dp made to lower the turbo, but to clear the engine this came to mind.

Yes i have looked into the hood but im thinking of later on new manifold to lower the turbo 2 inches.

Nice progress. I'd go with different manifold too. What kinda manifold is on there now? Kinda looks like a megan tubular or something like that.

I'm thinking it's OEM.
