a .48 turbine with a stage 1 wheel on a H22? Not really going for big power huh? Which part of the turbo is hitting the motor mount? A pic of the problem would help

You have to cut out the part of the motor mount that's in the way.

Try using an air saw.

I had the same problem with turboing my h23, I had to notch out the front motor mount a little so the cold side of the turbo would clear. I also had to take some of the plastic of the radiator fan so it would fit. than I had to move the one fan on the outside of the radiator support so the the turbo would fit. talk a bout a pain in the ***. good luck with your install.
