Is It Best To Run The Lower Engine Mount From An Mi16 Or 2.0t

Is it best to run the lower engine mount from an Mi16 or a 2.0T on a 2.0 turbo in to 205 conversion? I have both mounts available to me>>>

 

I think the Mi16 one is more compact but unsure on if it fits or not until I get stuck in..

 

cheers

hi iam using the turbo lower mount and the complete top mout arm and bit on block of a 306 xsi. it fits perfect and is very small and compact and has the hole so can stil use the turbo alternator setup

i've just put a brand new standard 205 bush on, and it knocked, so i think yes you should use a stiffer bush. there is a thread on here that gives the part number of the diesel bush.

you should use the mount off the xu9, the mount from the turbo doesn't fit in the 205 nor does it fit 205 driveshafts!

Cheers. Mi16 lower mount (with solid bush already inserted) it is then.

oops sorry yeah i read that wrong you meant the lower rear engine mount. as said use 205 one with uprated bush

[kyepan 291]

yes thats what i meant too, use the 205 metal bit, but an uprated bushing.
