here ya go...
got 'em at summit racing.

By far the cheapest solid mounts I found and they're holding up well... but the downpipe from my turbo is a bit too close and even w/ the AL heat shield it's starting to melt a little bit. I wish I would have remembered to wrap my downpipe when it was out of the car w/ header wrap. I have it sitting on my work bench, so one day when I'm feeling motivated I'll give it a go I guess.

np...
i'd also recommend getting more sturdy tranny mounts as well, but beward that the 034 street/track density ones won't work iirc. Might want to check in with them about that though.

the Energy Suspension mounts work very well, but a turbo will melt it; the ones to use with turbo...
are oe from 81 4000 5cyl. Plain rubber and steel construction, not hydraulic, and rather stiff as well. These deal with the heat much better than the poly; a few months of occasional driving and my poly mounts eventually turned into a blob of goo. However I also only had a small crudely-constructed piece of aluminum as a shield...
(I guess this post is a little late for the latest (?) turbo conversion done by Jretal...sorry man...keep this oe mount in mind if you end up melting your pass side poly)
So that's the random post of the month from me- only browsing the forum occasionaly since I now have a daily driver to make payments on instead of tricking out my CGT again =(

haha, yeah I noticed mine is starting to melt a little bit...
I will leave it be. I'm going to wrap the header (as much of a PITA that's gonna be while on the car) to add a little more cover. Will probably do that when I have the suspension out of the car over the winter for "phase 2" :-P
