i getting the full dog bone mount not the insert bush just come out by these guys
http://www.vibra-technics.co.uk/ so its what £113 say but its a complete new arm with bushes so easy to fit !or £85 for the insert from apr but then £30 to get fitted and pressed in!

so obviously i went for the full arm plus you can remove it and fit back the standard one if you sell up one day!

If i were you put one or even two jubilee clips on the metal insert on the TIP (connection next to turbo end) as its just glued in place, as soon as i tried to fit the rubber hose back on i just pushed the metal insert into the TIP!!

I was nearly in tears at that point as i just spent ages squeezing the TIP onto the turbo!! A little washing up liquid also helped slide on to the turbo intake. The rest is easy!

Chris,
TIP is easy.... unbolt the rigid water pipes from the block... just need a large allen key from your AA van... and attach to turbo from underneath.. so much easier..
and Kenny is spot on... jubilee the metal insert ... or it comes straight out.....
Stage 2 software sat here on my laptop ready to go.....
