I've got a simple motor mount design that attaches to 4 of the bosses on the center of the block. This avoids the strange curved design needed to go around the turbo if one was to use the std (rear) boltup. The Std mount is straight, but would run right into the turbo and waste gate. Mount is a 115 by 95mm 8mm thick steel plate with the back machined for the different heights of the bosses (why on earth couldn't VW make them all in the same plane!). Plate attaches with 3 M10 bolts and one M8 to the bosses. A 50mm square tube is mounted (bolted for the moment so I can adjust it, will weld when done) at a 25.7 degrees angle to this plate. This puts the end of the square tube 1/8" away from the turbo and wastegate. The square tube is machined out to attach the motor mount as high as possible, and reinforced on the top to compensate for the hollowing.
