Has anyone ever had this same problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 18y 10m 10d Posted 21/06/10 06:37 AM Share Posted 21/06/10 06:37 AM Turbo does not have to come off...though you will get different work shops tell you different things...I bought the a genuine mount for $285 and got it fitted without turbo removal...the car idles very smooth now...In regards to your negative camber problem is this causing the DSC light to come on?In regard to your negative camber problem are you getting the DSC light go on?
