Any updates on this?  Really interested to see how it moves with a non-vnt turbo on it. I have the adapter 'kit' from another toyota swap that was abandoned due to worn engine/lack of power and several members here have suggested that a 1.6 would be adequate...

Ive been busy the past few weekends and havent touched it. I have to haul in my next project next weekend so it will likely be two weeks before I can touch it again.

Finally got a chance to work on it. Got the mounts built, I did manage to move the engine over about a half inch from the original crank centerline so I can use a much less heavily modified oil pan. The alternator lost a large amount of room though. Does anyone have a pic of 1.6 with a/c power steering and an alternator on  it viewed from the front?

those motor mounts look like they will transfer a LOT of vibration

thats what i was thinking!
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I have the same type on my fords, granted the I6 is much smoother they are just as smooth as the factory type. Besides room isnt something I have.
