Cool I got mine done now, Used SIKAFLEX PRO
polyurathane (spellcheck). grey stuff it is, 16bucks.
Should snapped with digcam before I did it.
YeahI cleaned it up, filled in the groves smoothed it down. inserted back in metal part squerted in as much more as I could smoothed it done again. day later its still
tacky, puttin it in on friday, Im getting the rubber joiner from the turbo to air intake fixed at Evolution Racing
in Wooloongabba so Im gettin gthem to do the mount to, should be well solid by then!!!
: )
Im getting a BOV put on at the same time so Im pretty
excited!!!  no more donking and lots more PSSHHHHHing....im so excited, I just cant hide it,
Im getting a, blow..off ..valve and i wanna boost it, da DA, DA DA!...

Ive had the engine mount put in now.
Its much nicer to drive at idling around carpark etc; when you ease off acc. the engine doesnt jolt back and forth.   And though the hunting/boucey idle is STILL there it doesnt cause the steering wheel to jump about.
Evolution Racing put it in for me and fixed the air filter pipe to turbo rubber seal thing too.
fitting as well as turbo seal was 107dollars.
and 15bucks for the Sikaflex polyurathane stuff.
left it for a week to dry/seal, 25bucks for engine mount
with perfectly good rubber in it.....not bad.
UNFORTUNATELY...as I've got the standard air filter air box and topmount interheater when they went to fit
a BOV, you guessed it. . .
NO EFFING ROOM!...me no happy...
i ws really looking forward to a bov...
oh well, guess that can go towards saving for the clutch.
Is that eXXedy item that someone quoted the ref.# for better than a standard item with the fingers strengthened by say 40%... should I get the Exxedy one?!?!
hmmm, tim eto adjusted this solenoid thingy at the throttle body end...

mint, sounds like the mount did the job nicely then.

You should get a nice intake pipe made up so your get some room

get pgnuta to post some pics of how he did his one.

Cheers
