Default Front motor mount with turbo?

I have a 92 accord lx.I'm going to be doing a turbo kit very soon.Probably going to start buying everything in about a week.Is there anywhere to buy a solid front motor mount that doesnt get in the way of the turbo?

your turbo is suppose to get around the mount not the other way around.

if your kit require you to ditch the oe mount, it's obvious that the kit is not designed properly. i would ditch the kit and get something more indigence

It's going to be a homemade kit.I'll probably use a 2g dsm manifold and turbo.The mounts going to be in the may though.Ive heard of people fabbing thier own but I would just like to see if anyone makes a replacement mount.

with my custom kit I did not have to do anything to my front mount... so I am not too experienced with modifing it but I have heard of some people needing to notch it pretty good (for clearance) for some of the pieced together and cheaper setups.

I would not completely remove the mount personally, our engines torque around in place pretty hard as is with it... without it you would probably get some pretty harsh movement (which would be very hard on what mounts you have left and you would tear them up more quickly).

I've seen people use the NRG damper in place of the front motor mount with good results, but truthfully you should be able to clear the front mount without too much effort. Just notch it a little if necessary.

i hear you dude, i have most of my materials to make my turbo mani, i'm set on doing a top mount tubular mani, but it could change to a ram style, in either case, i have to figure a good way to clear that damn mount.
