Under the passemger side of the oil pan, using a large block to distribute the weight evenly over a large area.

K thank-you Aaron. That's what I was thinkin of oil pan and using block of wood on jack. More on passenger side or across sideways of the engine? Wantin to make sure I get this right. Cant wait to get it on.

 

[TurboTechRacing]

more on the passenger side, but even if you put the wood under the netire oil pan and jack a bit more on the passenger side you will be fine.

So I need a block of wood. All these unmentioned costs! ;P

Not much twist at all with the turbo tech mount installed.

Just startup cuz that was very first time engine ran with it on. Give it awhile and it will get better. Plus it had all the vibration too gotta let that wear down and my intake needs pulled back up and retightned its been slipping on its rubber bushing. Other than that I dont really think engine toques as much

I have some color choice advice for future TTR motor mount purchasers.
I recommend having the base colored to match your exterior color. The upper will look good in silver metallic (to match aluminum engine head) or black (to match engine covers).

Just installed my triple flat black mount (it hides nicely). I can honestly say that I haven't really liked "driving" my Sonic turbo until now. I'm used to visceral cars that give you feedback. The NVH in the stock Sonic is so dulled that I ended up feeling disconnected.

But now between the 17" tires, low pro tires, shifter bushings, and this engine mount... Feedback! I can't imagine how connected this car will feel after my Pedders coilover kit.

I agree with opticon, same mods just for me no boosta..

Awesome review! These have been shipping daily! They are a great upgrade for everyone! Great first mod!

Installed the mount today. When I first fired it up, everything in my glovebox was rattling and my vision was vibrating. I was like, "nope, I'm putting the stock mount back on."

But after a 15 min city drive, it settled down quite a bit, to a bearable level. Also I definitely feel like my throttle foot is more directly connected to the output at the wheels, which was the whole idea with this upgrade.

Good deal!

i had these mounts in my honda, i could shake a can of pop flat in my 20 min commute to work, im glad to hear the TTR mount isnt that extreme, definitely in my future mod list

I have about 1000 miles on mine and I can say that it absolutely does smooth out once broken in. Never to a factory level, but enough that it doesn't buzz and rattle the whole dash.

One more thing worth mentioning is the engine sound that is transmitted to the cabin. VERY mean and throaty. But since I have a factory exhaust (for the moment) nobody outside the car hears any difference.
