Default Turbo clearing front motor mount?

My wastegate on my turbo is gonna be obstructed by the front motor mount, I know you can modify the actuator rod but I was just wondring if I could notch out the motor amount to give it enough room to clear it?

I don't have a front motor mount on my setup, sucks bc my WG hits my hood even with an insert in the rear and a torque damper

A lot of people ditch the front motor mount and throw bushing on the others

Im hoping to squeeze a 3" downpipe by it with the stock crossmember on an ef though

Good luck
