That hydro passenger mount might require a different bracket on the engine.

(If anyone has that bracket, or its part number, I'm interested.)

From making the mounts myself for a flipped VNT for mk2 I found some things out. IIRC I think the differences are in the cast aluminum piece. The bolt holes are the same in all, but there is one that is about 7/16" longer than the other. FWIW I think you could get it to work no matter what you have, but the one that works I am pretty sure has an A at the end of the 9 digit part number.

Ja, I think Tylernt had an issue with his motor sitting a bit jakey after putting in the pass hydro last year. The 16V bracket may be a bit different.

I think I read somewhere that the Passat engine sits at a different angle than the Golf/Jettas. I have no idea if it's true or not though.
