Happy that i still had room for the 304 flex bellow.

With the stock motor mount, are you sure you aren't going to have some clearance issues with the downpipe or compressor housing? If you get any lateral movement of the engine during launches or anything like that you could wind up with a cracked manifold or something else?

Not trying to scare you or anything, but its just the first thing I think of with bottom mount kits with stock motor mounts.

Compressor housing outlet might be too close to the heat shield next to it.. But i'll smash it with a hammer if i have to. :grin:
But you mean the turbine housing right?
In that way you're right, i have thought about this.
I'm not too afraid about it tho. We'll see i guess.
Have thought about aftermarket mounts (the bushings).
Can anyone suggest me a brand/model? Like a stiffer setup.

My set up has a custom motor mount bracket for just that reason.
I wonder how your oil drain is located/fixed, since your turbo sits a lot lower than mine.
You tapped a new fitting in the pan?

AD Engineering. I have a bottom mount ST setup and Andy sold me the passenger side mount that comes with his turbo kit. Very high quality piece.

Got my Innovate HBX-1 heat sinks in the mail.
Wastegate is being welded.. just need to place the O2 bungs on the manifold and i should be done this week.

You mean every single part like piping and everything?
For my simple bottom mount.. all the things i can think of that i used to make this happen;

Turbo, wastegate and other supportive mods
-JB4 boost controller with MHD backend (2step/NLS, HMD supportive cables, bluetooth connect and phone or tablet to log)
-JB4 connect MAC solenoid
-3.5bar tmap sensor + harness
-Precision 6466 gen2 ball bearing divided T4 with 1.0A/R exhaust housing and 3-5/8" discharge
-Precision 46mm wastegate (springs and flanges are included)
-4" turbo guard
-VRSF chargepipe with Tial BOV
-CCC Single mass flywheel
-550i clutch (not sure if this will do but i've seen it on many hybrid N54 with no issues)
-Wagner EVO2 intercooler
-Vader Solutions PCV delete + breather system
-Titanium turbo blanket
-Oil pan gasket while you're there
-Valve cover gasket while you're there

Fittings for drain, feed, vacuum and other small parts
-2 x coolant plugs from ACF
-Single turbo oil feed adapter from ACF + 1/8NPT to 4AN adapter fitting
-2 x exhaust gaskets for downpipe to exhaust
-T4 divided gasket
-Oil drain fitting for the oil pan, which i had to make myself due to poor flow otherwise.
-Something to plug the remaining oil drain hole, i used a 19mm freeze plug.
-Oil feed for turbo, 1/8NPT to 4AN 90° fitting + 4AN push lock fittings for lines.
(6466 don't need oil feed restrictor, it's already in there)
-Oil drain for turbo, 10AN fitting with an O-ring imbedded in there so no need for typical gasket + 10AN screw lock
fittings for lines.
-10AN enforced silicone drain line
-4AN enforced feed line
-2 x 6mm vacuum fittings for mac solenoid (i used 6mm screw locks or whatever they are called..)
-1 x vacuum fitting for compressor housing in desired size (i used 6mm push lock)
-2 x 90° push lock fittings on wastegate 6mm
-1 x screw lock T vacuum fitting 6mm
-6mm enforced vacuum lines
-Roll of heatshield tape
-Different sizes of heat sleeves for drain, feed and waterpump lines
-Box of different sized O-rings. Just because!

Manifold
-RB flange
-T4 divided flange
-7 x 1-1/2" Schedule 40 long radius 90° elbows 304 (1 for dump tube)
-2 x 1-1/2" schedule 40 Tee 304 (those T shaped parts)
-2 x M18x1.5 02 saddled sensor bungs 304

Dowpipe
-3-5/8" turbo discharge flange + clamp (depending on your exhaust side of turbo)
-3" 2 foot long pipe 304
-3" flex bellow 304
-3" 180° degree mandrel bend 304
-3" to 2x2,5" Y pipe 304 pre-welded to make things easy
-2 x 2,5" exhaust flanges to connect to original exhaust
-2 x M18x1.5 02 saddled sensor bungs 304-3" V-band flanges with clamp to make the downpipe in 2 pieces..

Even tho i'm not gonna make it in 2 pieces because it seems so pointless on such a short downpipe on a bottom mount..
I rather replace the V-band flanges with the flex part because otherwise i won't have any room at all for the flex bellow. (downpipe makes a small jump over motor mount)
I don't want my exhaust to stress the bolts on my turbine housing causing my turbine wheel hitting the housing itself overtime.

Turbo compressor outlet to intercooler
-2,5" cast aluminum 90° elbow to weld on compressor outlet
-2,5" aluminum pipe 1 meter long
-2,5" silicone couplers in the angles and quantities you desire + clamps of course.

Coolant pipe
-Coolant pipe flange, aluminum on ebay.
-Coolant flange gasket
-2 x aluminum 90° pipes 35mm
-135° 35mm silicone coupler hose, to connect coolant pipe to waterpump

Most of the manifold and downpipe parts come from ACE raceparts..

How did you cut your turbo blanket for the turbo im having trouble figuring if I should install one or not. Also did you end up tapping into the oil pan for the oil drain?

Do they sell the mounts separate
Please keep in mind, there are two ADE mounts. One set is made for the stock configurations, and the other one has a custom engine mount arm sold specifically with his bottom mount kit which gives clearance for a downpipe in this location. The former is listed for sale and the latter is not, outside of the kit itself.

Hey man, sorry for the late reply i had some serious delay.
The wastegate is welded and i should be finishing this week.
This is my turbo blanket;
PS: Don't mind the heat sinks on the downpipe haha, they're supposed to be on the manifold. :grinning:
