Two things --- Your turbo being close to the VC shouldn't be a major concern. The part that's close is the fresh air intake, which should provide...
Considering the area you're located, you can safely remove the "sensor" (it's a heater to melt anything frozen on the turbo intake) without fear...
I didn't realize the other mounts had aftermarket replacements available. I gotta research that. I only replaced the one --- #5. Edit:...
Looks don't count when it comes to lower engine mounts, it's all about the materials. I started with BSH but had no change to the engine "rolling"...
The only iridium plugs I needed to adjust were the OEM P/N's. A much smaller gap was recommended by my original tuner, and he adjusted my 1st set...
Re-gapping probably depends on the tool used. If you avoid the skinny center contact, you should be OK. I use a feeler gauge to measure gap ---...
