Looks like your top mount is knackered, might as well replace it with a polybush, transmits a bit of that 5 pot rumble into the car , and put a manual boost controller on it. |

 Just an idea... I took this pic at the end of a charity car run in 2009 when the team photo'd managed to blow their £250 T5 up on route ( got escorted about of one city by police for being to smokey!) and were towed at least 300 miles on the back of bmw 525i estate painted as a the ghostbusters car.... |

yet another update lol decided i would fit the boost gauge i wired the pope through the parcel shelf speaker because i can then remove the trim under the steering wheel and feed it through (but u have to pull a switch out)  then i fed it through under the steering column towards the pasenger side  i removed the passenger side trim and pulled the carpet back but i couldnt see the grommit that i was supposed to poke the hose through :/ but i decided id go under the bonnet, remove the grommit then stick the screwdriver through the grommits position  then i fed both the hose for the boost gauge, and while i was at it i put my amps power cable through it so i wouldnt have to do it alllll again  then i removed a lil cover on the tree and put the boost gauge hose onto the tree, then hey presto, it was working   oh i also got this very nice sticker from the post woman  |
