Looking at the Auto Atlanta site, I noticed both sets of OEM numbers that references the turbo motor mounts and the regular non-turbo mounts both appear on the motor mounts.

I had read that the turbo mounts are stiffer but now I'm beginning to think they are the same as the non-turbo mounts. Can anyone make any sense from this?

Do you want stiffer OEM mounts? If so you want the 964 part number version which is the 'RS' motor mount. I believe there is only the 993 and 964 part numbers for the 996.

 

Exactly ... Just got myself new mounts last week.

 

Do you install the RS mounts yet? How do you like them?

 

I would also be curious the difference you feel between stock and RS mounts.

The solid mounts i hear create lots of interior vibration.

Thanks

 

I rarely track this car so I didn't want to get the RS mounts and deal with NVH issues. I've read that the turbo mounts are in between the RS and stock non-turbo mounts but I'm trying to verify whether that is true or not. Someone on here mentioned that the turbo mounts were solid instead of liquid filled so I like some verification on that.

Can someone verify:
1. whether the pic I posted is OEM turbo mount
2. if turbo mount is any different(solid and stiffer) than non-turbo mount

TIA

 

I have RS mounts. There is a bit more vibration during start up when the engine is cold just like stock. You don't notice it much after the car is warm.

 

I just installed the turbo mounts. I'll snap a picture at lunchtime so you can see the part numbers. Pelican parts lists two different part numbers (although only different by a single digit). They also had the best prices by far (which I figured out after already ordering them).

Thanks but did you buy the OEM turbo mounts or aftermarket? I need someone to verify whether the pic I posted was a pic of an actual OEM turbo mount.

 

996 Turbo motor mount part number taken from PET
993 375 049 07

 

996 Carrera motor mount part number from PET:
993 375 049 06

 

OEM Turbo

Sorry no chance at lunch to shoot the picture. It looks identical to the OEM NA mount but I have no idea if the internals are different.

 

If you look at the mounts, it has both numbers scribed on it and hence the confusion.

 

Just installed Rennline solid mounts....will report back re: NVH....

 

Looks purdy ... Anywho I already bought my turbo mounts but still looking to see if anyone knows if they are solid or liquid filled.
