Anytime, glad to help.

As for the motor mounts see here:

There is one school of thought to go with aftermarket and another to stay OEM. Personally because I have the PTuning kit I need to run PTuning's motor mount on the passenger side only (because the turbo sits so low it can't clear the OEM motor mount). In my opinion, PTuning's mount is stiffer than OEM which causes an imbalance of vibration from one side to the other which in turn causes premature failure of the driver's side OEM mount. So for myself if my OEM mount fails I'll probably switch to an aftermarket mount. Which one? I haven't researched enough yet to make that decision.

If I were you I'd stick with the OEM mounts as long as it's an option with your future turbo set up. Don't forget always plan ahead with your install so that you don't have to do things twice.

I know this is an old post but I'm boosted with 570whp and would a oem disc with a hd act pressure plate hold the power? I know the act would but would the oem disc hold the power as well?

I just installed a competition stage 2 clutch in mine and I love it. Catch isn't too strong to where you can't daily it but it still can handle some power. There is a little clutch noise though.

I have the centerforce dual friction 8 puck clutch, I put down around 400 whp and it is a great clutch. It just takes a bit to get used to.
