Well, the car is finally on the road. The motor mount that we fabricated is a nice unit. I looked at all of the others, and I did not find anything that made me feel comfortable to use. Our is a full cradle, we relocated the turbo and intercooler. Fabricated our own exhaust (ceramic coated), re-engineered the factory wiring harness and it truely kicks some major bootie. We ran a 2005 997 carrera and shamed him...bad. He could not believe it. We are finishing up the details on this kit and they will be offering it soon. Be sure to look for us at the German Auto fest. We will be there with bells on! Look for the two 914s that have "Porsche Turbo" above the rockers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

I'm wondering if they are going to include stuff like exhaust components, a chopped oil pan, stuff for flipping the altnerator to a new location, etc.  I'm anxious to see what is included in the kit and also, how they get away with making an engine support that uses the stock mounting points without comprimising strength.  

-Tony

this kit does not require you to chop the oil pan, move alternators ect... the engine remains pretty much stock. and yes you can use the stock engine mounts without any comprimising of anything! exhaust is really easy in these kits so other than a custom up-pipe on turbo applications we will leave the rest of the exhaust up to the customer. as for the radiator, We are offering the tried and true renegade hybrids radiator system with these kits. even though these engines are smaller than a v8 it does not mean that they run cooler. my RH radiator is cooling the subie engine wonderfully and I would recommend against running anything from a junkyard. P.S. more info and pricing was just added to the site!subie info
