Thanks guys all the info is helpfull. my turbo side mount went on me and it destroyed my apr snoutmount bushing. I talked to a tech about it and he suggested if you need to replace one you should replace both at the same time to prevent premature ware of the other mount or the new mount you put in.

I will be installing 2 034 motorsport mounts hopfully soon, and ill post up the resalts for you guys.

Excellent- looking forward to some pics and tips - I'm just concerned about the part where one jacks up the engine using a piece of wood on a jack against the oil pan. Will the arc of a floor jack move the engine and put too much stress on the transmission? Do I put the car in park or neutral?

Vizi- thanks for the feedback on the 034

No problem man, As far as the floor jack goes you only apply enough lift of the motor to loosen the mount so it is easier to replace them.. You aren't jacking the motor up a couple inches..... Oh and not the wood won't hurt the oil pan or anything, but with that said I also wouldn't support the motor on the oiil pan for days on end....

Did you have to remove the snub mount? Does that include taking out the bumper?

I just swapped out my old mounts for new ones, pretty simple per the link in the beginning of this thread. Opted for the OEMs cause I wanted good dampening. FYI, there's a ground wire very close to the passenger side mount- make sure you don't contact your tool with it or you'll get a nice spark :)
