Go with 80a. 60 is still a little too soft for our cars and 94 will vibrate fillings loose.

The rear is a pain because you generally have to move the main engine harness to get it in and out, and to do that you may find it easier to pull the intake manifold. Its outrageous how packed in it is. You really can't get to it from below and its tough to get at from above without getting something out of the way first.

Yeah, I agree. When the intake manifold is out it is super easy. It is right there, its crazy to think about how hard it is to get to coming in through the bottom.

 

[KrayzieFox]

Yeah they're not kidding about the rear mount, don't underestimate it.

OK ill order up at 80, and a set of stock mounts. All 4 are fill-able on these cars?

 

[91Protege]

Alldata calls for about .7hrs for each mount. Cant be too hard on a lift at work.

Yep. The front three are easy, but trust me, the rear is deceptively tough. Front takes <10 min, passenger is 15 min, Trans requires a bit more work and will take ~30 minutes and I'm betting the rear will be 45 min to an hour+.

 

[91Protege]

I sware I did a rear mount before on a protege at work, and remember it wasnt so bad. I donno, i will see wont i. I will be taking the car into work tomorrow to losen up the wastegate and hopefully get the boost to stay at 9-10

Adjusted the wastegate today, its about 9 right now, ill leave it there. As I adjusted it 2 times, so once the engine was cold, and the 2nd the engine was hot. I need a better way to adjust it.
