Adam
I would be inclined to get out the grinder in this situation. But then I'm
usually a bit quick to get out the grinder so.... usually I ask here
first.... so I guess ur on the right track
My issue here is with how much clearance do u actually need. If for
example
the mount on the other side was a bit soft (old or new?) then u would
probably need more clearance on the turbo side.
Having seen a lot of engines misfiring over the years, and seen what it
can
do to the clearances we are talking about here my GUESS would be at least
20mm clearance. having stuck my neck out I would also imagine that Terry
or
Errol et al would have some sort of formula for working it out properly
Cheers
Mick

Jeff,
I can't see how there would be. Most of the heat is generated at the
exhaust
turbine end and exhaust manifold. The compressor housing is alot closer
to
the engine mount rubber, but not as close as the pic makes out - ie the
turbo sits back towards the firewall aswell ( the mount is infront of the
compressor housing) - can't see the depth from that image.
cheers,
Adam
