I am going to completely remove the engine mount and try to fit everything up with an external wastegate. If it all goes fine I will just put it on a trailer and take it to a local shop and have them fab up a engine mount that will go around the turbo. It really seems like this is the only obstacle in the way. I am surprised that this isnt a common thing and a part isnt already readily available. Hell, i will have around $600 into the setup less the mount. Definitely going with a 6psi wastegate though since I will more than likely have boost creep due to the placement of the wastegate.
