  5. Very old thread revival here but I replaced both engine mounts this time and wanted to report back. I read widely on how I might do the turbo side mount without taking the car apart and found a few people saying it was possible to remove this mount by first removing the heat shield that sits over this mount to protect it from the turbo. The heat shield is held in place by a clip on the engine mount top bolt. Well, I'm unsure how you would even get your hands in there to get at the clip. There is zero room, even after I removed the big bottom pipe connecting the turbo to the intercooler. I tried and tried to remove as little as possible but my man sized hands just could not manage it. So I removed the turbo. Big job first time round - next time I'll be quicker. Here is a view of that clip with the turbo out of the way.... As can be seen its well rusted on and even with the turbo out of the way I had to use a chisel to cut it to get it off..... I needed a breaker bar to get the top nut off this mount too so really not sure how you would do this job without taking out the turbo. BUT - I'm happy I did take the turbo out! Seriously! Once I did finally get it out I noticed that the waste gate was jammed open. The sleeve, that the waste gate assembly is held in place by, had worked its way out of the housing so that the round part that covers the waste gate port was sitting jammed open against the housing. I simply firmly tapped the waste gate shaft and the sleeve and the waste gate assembly shifted back into place allowing the waste gate cover to align with the port and the round waste gate cover to fully close up. Looking at the following image you can see it's now in the right position and closed. When I noticed it was jammed open, the waste gate was protruding from the turbo housing (a lot more than in this pic obviously). It's funny because I had noticed quite some time back the power wasn't as strong as I had remembered it. Perhaps this was the cause? Engine mounts for comparison... Turbo side quite squashed but still had oil in it 15 years and 140,000 kms old.... Here is the passenger side that I replaced back in 2011 that I wrote about previously in this thread. Its still looking pretty good. The new one is better looking, quality wise. Straps integrated and held in place with clips which is a much improved design .... Close up of new one sourced from eBay at $40 delivered... Hope this is helpful.

  9. Well first thing is first. Cause I was swapping my rubbish old 4 speed slushmatic out for the T5 an extra pedal was needed. I have no idea whether you could install a new pedal box without removing the dash altogether, it could be possible but I think removing the dash was pretty easy, just a process really. Getting the dash out is actually quite easy. The only problem is that you have to remove a whole heap of trim parts to get to it out. And for some stupid reason Ford decided to integrate the handbrake into the centre console, which I don't really understand cause the handbrake is bolted to the floor and the centre console is held in at enough points to firmly secure it. Anyway, the reason it's a bit painful is that you have to remove the drivers side seat to get to the handbrake bolts so that you can then remove the centre console. So once all the plastic trim parts are removed and the centre console is out there are only something like 8 bolts holding the dash in. They're all pretty easy to get to apart from one which is at at the top of the dash underneath the windscreen. This bolt was a *beep* to get out so I didn't end up putting it back in. I've driven the car a fair bit now since the conversion and there are no rattles or anything so I would recommend leaving it out unless you really want it back in. The electrical system needed to be unplugged but it was easy. Most of the major electrical plugs are in the drivers and passengers kick panels with the only other plugs running to the pedal box, the air con unit and the BCM. There is one sneaky plug on the transmission tunnel near the bolt under the BCM. The pedal box is really easy to get out once the dash is removed. Just 2 wiring harness plugs, 2 nuts securing the box onto the body and 4 nuts securing the box onto the brake booster. Oh and one thing I did right from the start was to label every single nut, screw, bolt, wiring harness plug, pipe, hose, everything. I just used some masking tape and wrote descriptions for each part. One of the best things to do is not only label the part but decribe where it is and which way it goes back on. This was pretty handy on the boost pipes and radiator pipes etc. It feels like overkill when you're taking stuff off but after a few months between removing stuff and putting it back on it was an absolute lifesaver. Believe it or not the only bolt I had left over after the whole conversion was the one I mentioned earlier that mounts the dash behind the windscreen. Apart from that I didn't have any leftover bolts or parts.
