I’m hoping not, got three engine steadies to put on so engine should not move that much, and I think it will move mainly forward, If my memory serves me right the engine mainly twists forward, clearance between the body and intake is about 1/4", I’ve made it square there thinking if I do get it Knocking I can make it slimmer and taller if need be, must admit it is close how much do you think It will move ?..

Why not put some flexible hose between the turbo and air intake and then solid mount the intake. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

The Idea is to put a tab on the intake, then screw it to the fan housing so that it moves with the engine, don’t really want any flexi in that area at all, that’s why I’ve done the steal intake in the first place.. Sorry guys I don’t know what you mean about water injection, please will you explain.. Alan Main Build
