Hi mate, sorry to go slightly off topic here but I see you have a TD04 Hybrid. What supporting mods, if any, are you running and are they on a uk or jdm car? I'm thinking about some upgrades and i'd like your thoughts.

The gearbox mount is quite easy, you'll need a trolley jack or something to support the box whilst you undo the cradle and swop it over - all easilt accessible.
The engine is a little more fiddly as you will need to jack up a side at a time and slip the mounts in. I did these from the back of the engine, not a really big job but easier if the wife, girlfriend and any kids have vanished for the day and leave you in piece. The engine has a top steady bar under the intercooler you'll need to undo this to allow the engine to move a bit more,

Gearbox one, an hour or so if you know the car & tools a bit.
As above, have to jack up engine off cross member to allow space for the studs on the harder ( STi ?? ) mounts ... did one myself and let garage do drivers side as I couldn't get enough clearance!
Worthy mod though, using Group N / STi parts.

I have gone for hardrace ones, so hope these will be a good upgrade.
vulnax, did you find they were much different, and how does it feel after, as there isnt much movement>?
Scoobyclassic. My mods are, ported and polished headers (manifold), STi8 intercooler, catch can, parallel fuel mod with FPR, 3 inch turbo back, other bits, but only little bits. As you know a TD04 hybrid. Its a UK Classic, version 5. I'd say a well worth turbo to get, spool is spot on, and hold boost very well.
