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.

I just replaced the front one with the powerflex mount. In time I will do the rear, but going to wait until I do the clutch again.

Fireball,
Do you happen to have the part numbers for the gaskets that you needed for the hotside install? I need the O2 housing gasket number and anything else I might be missing.
I have the following so far, quantity is first.
4 - MR224441 - 1 x Stud
1 - MR450703 - Donut gasket for the downpipe
1 - MR323654 - Exhaust Manifold gasket (head to manifold)
I know not all are necessary but I just wanted to get each part that I could need for this so that I can order them at Renner sometime next week. I'm shooting to maybe do this next weekend if it's halfway warmer out since my garage is not heated.
I ordered some silver anti-seez that can hold up to 2400F so that should work well.

The right way to do a hotside is not to pull the entire turbo.

Get rid of those studs holding on the turbo and get some grade 8 bolts from your local hardware store for 25 cents.

. I'm not going to do it the hard way. The turbo is staying in the car. I plan on using that entire guide as a reference when doing this. This weekend i'm going to take off my manifold heat shield and spray the **** out of the sensors with some PB Blaster. Hopefully it will help in preperation for next weekend or whenever I get to do this.Do you happen to have the right size for the bolts? I've heard of many other people doing this as well.
I'd rather have some peace of mind with the gaskets in the event they get wrecked some how (I know, long shot) but Renner's parts dept. isn't exactly open all day Sat. or Sunday. This is my only car btw.
I do appreciate all the advice since I haven't done this before.
