whats the BEST way to remove this part for replacement, the front bumper is off, exposing turbo tube/x member, now where....... ???

5-pot

it should be attached to the back of the front crossmember.  You unbolt the bracket on the front crossmember (you'll have to remove the front crossmember first) and the actual snub mount unbolts from the engine block too.

You can make/buy a polyurethane one to make it stiffer and get a new, better fitting bracket for the front crossmember too.

The only one I can think of is the 034 one but no doubt other people make this.

cheers, may as well clean out intercooler as well, and give things a birthday, it looks like the left hand seal off the intercooler has been done with silicon hose, :)
