Any reason why my S52 wont clear the booster with revshift mounts? I am running a 944 booster and my car is also a RHD touring but I cant seem to find any reason why that would affect it. I have contacted revshift and even sent them pictures and they confirmed everything is mounted correctly but I just get a " We will call you back" and obviously that never happens

Two different worlds of swap headaches since I have a LHD, but I did run into issues with my Revshift mounts for my swap. First was with the iX booster making contact (which they don't disclose anywhere since they were "designed around the porsche booster), and then even with the 944 booster, I had to space up the motor with some washers on the drivers side to clear the booster. -
I have to trim the fins off my inlet mani AND notch the four holes in the firewall to shift the 944 booster over a bit. But then E28 535i green mounts were no different.
Renault Clio may be a better bet.
Spacers...now I probably should have tried that.Comment

The E34 525i "hockey puck" mounts worked just fine for my swap and are $15. The Revshift mounts made my engine sit too close to my booster that no amount of trimming the fins would make work.
Also worth noting, I have the AKG swap mounts in my vert and have found them to be too stiff for my tastes at idle.Comment

Revshift products are dangerous and should be boycotted.
Coupled with their famously terrible customer service, I'm wondering how they haven't been already.
AKG and Condor are far better and safer solutions.

Kingston suggested the AKG ones and they arrived today in the mail. Damn, they are nice and beefy looking! I hesitated on dropping the cash for those but they look like they are totally worth it. I'll report back on fitment with my 944 booster.Thank god, R3V was getting boring since the ginger kid wrecked his car. - StoneaComment

I just ordered the Revshift full kit (motor mounts, trans mounts, and driveshaft conversion). You guys are making me seriously question that purchase....
I also picked up a 944 booster....Comment
