Default front trans mount

So i removed my front trans/motor mount bracket when installing a turbonetics turbo last night, problem is it wont go back in with the set up, now i'm stuck between putting back my old kit or fabricating another mount, does anybody run their car without that front mount??

exactry, you will be stressing all of the other mounts...the engineers put it there for a reason. next thing you know you'll be needing a cradle and a tow truck.

have you been able to put the bracket back on the motor and are just having trouble with the motor mount? if so cut the tall rubber piece off the stock motor mount and it might give you enough clearance.

well the mount is back on the car because even if i made a custome mount for it today, i would have to fabricate another downpipe and dumptube, so my old turbo kit is back on and i'm just going to order another manifold for that turbo, oh well, trial and error, but my advice, don't remove that mount, motor rocks like hell, you need it
