Cork Sport used to sell a modified pass side mount. The tranny is going to tilt the motor 16* to the front so the B6T mount will need an adapter plate from what I understand. The fender mount will need to drilled to allow fitment also. Get with Greg and have him shoot you a pic of his Cork Sport mount. Both of the tranny mounts should work with no issues.

Just for those that do not know, DO NOT USE Platinum Spark plugs on a B6T or any turbocharged engine. Reason being is the platinum will melt under combustion chamber temperatures and pressure. They will start throwing debre through your engine. I saw that someone had posted that they installed them a page back or so. Save yourself dude! Change them to V-Powers or Irridiums at best.Mazda

Time for a new Rack and Pinion on the other GTX...what a biotch on this car... I said wth and dropped the mill out...now lots of breathing room and a chance to clean up the bay. Rebushed lowers and new ball joints, remaned axles x 4, big brake swap with booster and m/c, Illumina/Dirtras and GC's X 4, new wheel bearings and seals x 4, rebushed rear laterals and trailing arms, Miata/Galant brake swap on the rears and some other stuff I am not remembering. Lots of work to spread out here between the important stuff. Then redo the A/C before it gets hot down here.

avoiding the question like you have makes you sound at fault for potentially using some offbrand BS plugs...... just my 2 cents.
short of that.... platinum's melting point "Melting point: 3,215°F (1,768°C)" If you are seeing those temps you've got a ****ing vacuum kiln for an engine.
but i will agree iridium's are the way to go.---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

Honestly, I learn from others mistakes, I see them on a regular basis through work. I Will rephrase this way, that Platinum spark plugs are available for turbocharged engines, even some manufacturers use them, but whats the difference? Those are usually used in low stock boost conigurations, and not a higher modified performance car. That's not to say platinum plugs for higher performance and boosted engines do not exist, But that with how many failures there have been, and that ive seen, either a drop in performance or some internal damage, I will stand behind the fact that I will never recommend or use them in a purpose built turbocharged car.Last edited by FamiliaGT; 02-10-2014, 10:08 PM.Mazda
