It's also easier if you take out the radiator, which usually takes all of 5 mins. The longest part with that is draining the coolant.

Well Jeffs way is a hell of a lot easier. There really isnt a need to pull the whole assembly, unless of course you want to make more work for yourself. I replaced the entire turbo, not just the hotside.

Speaking of motor mounts, I would save your money. Don't know if you guys know or not, but I've been working with a company over the past year that's making mounts for our cars. They've been super slow because of other buisness (BMW people tend to have better profit margins I'm sure) but someday they'll be available and the best on the market.

If mine were shot I would have them replaced under warranty. If you do replace mount make sure you do all of them at the same time. This is a must. Doing one at a time puts additional stress on the worn mounts.
My mounts were like brand spanking new (18k miles) they didn't need replacing.
I find it odd that you don't feel any vibration. I've had poly mounts in almost every car I've had and you definately get vibrations.

Call your C.C. company and your work address to the list if you really want to get stuff shipped there...other companys do that also.
