Im trying to put this damn turbo in and right now Im stuck on getting the motor mounts off. I am going through the wheel well for the top nut on the passenger side with am impact gun set at 90psi and the friggin thing wont budge. I have the engine jacked up about 1/2-3/4 of a pump to take the weight off the mounts. Im just wondering how you all got yours off, especially since the 2 on the bottom will have to come off with a rachet since the gun wont fit in there. Any and all help is surely appreciated!

I got a small 3/8th's breaker and used the jack handle.

breaker bar ftw

power tools are useless when there are breaker bar's

Ya, I went and bought a rubber malott and beat the **** out of a rachet to get the bottom 2 bolts off. Now Im stuck on the bolt that goes into the rubber. That ****** wont budge!! Is that breaker bar material too? Theres just not enough leverage in there to really pull on it, or hit it wil a malott! I hate this car! Lol!!!

yeah get a long breaker bar

I also soaked the bolts with some pb blaster (penetrating oil)

Good form! I totally forgot the good ole lubricating spray. Damn it!! Wasted an entire day on dry bolts! WD-40 to the rescue!!

Ill give that a try in the morning, thanks!
