Broken motor mount is more trouble then it seems.
the lower dogbone motor mount broke on me while i was leaving work last month. the engine moved forward and back before i realized what had happened.
pickup a EIP mount from a fellow vwvortex for half the price of it new. installed and was thinking i was good to go.
here is helpful DIY:

nope, i wasnt. the oil pressure light came on. so i quickly parked and shut off the engine. i was only a block away. there is a nasty little leak around the turbo. after further investigating, the leak is coming from the turbo. so the tear down of the turbo and related parts has begun. i believe i have it narrowed down to the turbo feed line from the block. more than likely got pull lose from the engine moving with no mount motor.
so parts are ordered and a list of such said parts with come with prices. found some good deals, but it required shopping around.
i am replacing the feed line with braided lines and AN fittings.
also removing and blocking off the SAI pump system.
