    Hey kids, 944 booster don't fit

    porsche 944 booster, Akg motormounts.

    First of all I have been having a hell of a time with motor mounts and boosters. I finally got me some akg motormounts which god damn they fit great. Fuckyou R3vshift!. Anyways my 944 booster still hits so I'm going to space up the drivers mount a bit, I'm just tired of fucking with this and I want to drive it. It's been how long since people started swapping these and still nothing fits perfect? Anyways /rant and a little fyi to those running the 944 booster.

    mine fit great. same set up. shaved fins smooth. Maybe chk, from under the car, to see that the engine is on centerline and not cocked to the the side.

      If you want perfect fitment, buy a car that came with the engine you want from the factory.

                  Yah I went back under it with a Prybar seeing what I could do. The front end is perfect visually. The akgs fit perfect, mounts are flush and I checked online to make sure they were oriented correctly. I then used the Prybar to push the trans end around but not much movement. I then added 3 washers to the drivers motor mount and everything fits great. I hope my subframe isn't jacked.

                    glad the spacers helped! I am using the iX booster and keep reading different things about its fitment. my main concern was to use factory parts. I also bought the AKG mounts, hope I dont need to space mine out
