Turbo S2000 Motor Mounts
I decided to go turbo. I just bought some pieces and will be finishin up my list of parts before I dig into building a a couple months. I will be aiming for around 425-450whp. My question is should I go with new OEM motor mounts or some aftermarket ones. I have been reading and am getting mixed reviews. Some say aftermarket ones are loud, obnoxious, and vibrate way too much. And others say they are alright. If anyone could give me some advice as to what would be best for my set up and the future.

I've heard bad and good things about Innovative mounts, but went with them anyways. They now have the Heat shield, which i hope will help out. I did buy the 75a black mounts and plan to put heat repellent gold tape on the heat sheild to help combat the heat from the down pipe. I am also going to heat wrap the down pipe. I hope it helps.

I'm currently running a supercharger (355whp) with OEM mounts, but those don't produce the amount of heat a turbo would. Switching to turbo this April with the Innovative 75a mounts.

ive got innovative... engine 75a, tranny 85a, diff 95a... works well for me, I was turboed last year and worked out good.... stock right now but going s/c soon... I made my own little heat shield for the passenger side, that's the one u gotta worry about depending on what manifold/turbo setup u go, or u can buy the shield innovative makes like previously stated... vibes do go up a little with this setup, but everything feels more in place with the mounts. before I would have a slight hesitation when starting out forward or reverse, now that's gone and the car goes when I want it to go... vibes aren't horrible though, only if our low rpm & high gear it will shake the hell out of the car, but if u have the rpm where it should be there's really no difference. I would suggest this setup to anyone
