Please do report back. I have had the idea that the holes didn't do much, but maybe them combined with the 1/8" cut was the trick. I'd be willing to bet it's the aftermarket mount though. The factory ones aren't that high priced (as engine mounts go), so I would give that a shot if there are no rubbing issues elsewhere. Also make sure your exhaust isn't in a bind and swings relatively free from the hangers.

 

I have to say this turbo kit is worth every penny. Got 515whp on 14psi 93oct by Evans.

I used the disc, running electric bc, no boost control issues.

Greddy tic dual which I think 70mm at it's largest not 3"

The mount is noticeable but not unbearable

Quality kit!

 

What was the engine speed, displacement, IAT, turbo model, and ECU? Was the tune knock limited?

 

Which exact turbo is it?

 

What turbo? 500+whp is pretty crazy for low octane 91/93 octane pump fuel for s 4 cylinder.

 

GTX3076R, stock 2.2, flashpro

Ambient temp was probably 5-10 C

 

2.153L, 8200rpm, 14psi boost. It's a chilly day, Still sounds high.

 

I have no idea. I was hoping for 450, got more than I asked for. Evans said it was safe and I have no reason to doubt him.

 

Finally starting to install my P-Tuning turbo kit and already wish the instructions were more descriptive. I know I'm really late to the party, but if it helps to save someone a half hour, then that's the goal. Before attaching the turbo to the manifold, bolt on your oil feed, oil return, and coolant lines to the turbo. This would be almost impossible to do with the turbo bolted to the manifold, so save yourself the headache and do it before hand.

Also, I wish the oil filter adapter fitting had a hex on it. It seems awfully ghetto having to tighten that adapter fitting into the block using a pipe wrench or pliers. I really don't want metal chunks getting into there.

 

Do yourself a favor and shave 1/8 inch of each end of the motor mount bushings. Huge difference in vibration
