My radiator arrived today, my clutch is being shipped today, and HKS Twinpower Arrives on tuesday. So Guitarjunkie will be busy next week... unless I decide to wait for the WBO2 sensor to come in MAZSPORT, so the bung can be welded at the same time. Maybe I will let creative have the car back for a couple days to finish up a couple electrical issues (with my stereo not the turbo).

ferret... good man RG
im thinking that if greddy wanted to find a competative kit (ie double the hp for double the price, like mazsport only mazsport give more than double the hp of greddy) then greddy would have to put in a twin turbo set up like ones seen on the Z ( seems to be what most people compare the 8 to) or just a t3/t4 like turbo. something with fast spool up (but still, 8's redline at 9k so its not like your only going to hold it for a short time like a many piston engines) but it also must have a higher hp obviously. and of course cant top mazsport unless you include the fuel upgrades or any of the like.
Im thinking that although we love for more kits to come out.... one more KIT COMING SOON!! thread is going to kill me. to those that have their kits out i thank you (besides greddy, im with rotorygod here, it sucks) and to those that are still working on it, thank you as well because you are stayin in the game for a long time and we know youll come through for us.

Tell greddy to release a sequential twin turbo with good boost from 1000rpm to 10000rpm lol. A tiny snail + a huge snail.

he said they went back to the OE drivetrain mountsalso have a pic of their new header, but I was forbidden to share it, selling for $1400 ...

Try as I might, I cannot find any reference to speedsource ever selling any solid engine mounts, nor the report that says they discontinued them due to breaking things. Got a link for me? I think it would be a very interesting read, especially considering I am making more HP than any of their 2 rotor cars ever were, and am currently utilizing a solid engine mount.

when we sell the motor mounts they do come with grommets.....
EDITED
We do utilize grommets to allow slight flexing....for each motor mount....
The grommets reduce vibration.
required mounting hardware is included.....
The motor mounts themselves are each solid, sturdy and durable......

It sure looks like the bushing is left out. 
Educate me. Why would you want to do this? I would be VERY wary of making the engine block a load-bearing part of the frame. Its by far the stiffest part of the frame with a hard mount in place. Therefore, it will react a very large portion of the loads in the frame. Call me nutty, but I really would not want to start applying twisting loads and other nasty forces to my block while the rotors are twisting away at 9 grand. At first blush - isolation = good.

Check my post....edited for accuracy 
My motor mounts failed on my non turbo 8.
BTW Scott has been testing these mounts over 10k miles and in several customer cars.....

He's adding the extra inch or so of clearance needed to get the bigger turbo in there by dropping the engine a bit and stiffening the mounting point.
Most of the twisting force will be applied radially to the housings which shouldn't distort them.
NVH will be an issue, however.
