Turbo 'nobble' Clearance 2.0

[Anton green 12 1 Cars]

I noticed really quite close to the steering UJ is a protruding knob on the turbo of the 2.0

 

Has anybody cut off their nobble for clearance / heat damage prevention? Any reason why this shouldn't be done or are there any alternatives? I'm currently running an extended lower mount fork btw...

I use uprated engine mounts not much movement no rubbing :-)

My engine mounts are uprated too, so I guess that would be +1 for, "It's ok, monitor it at some point down the line"...
