Lightbulb Timing Belt Appointment

Timing belt being replaced this week, the shop says i have a broken snub mount on the passenger side, would they be able to replace that while doing the timing belt or need to lift the engine, also any other upgrades i should look at while i have the belts being worked on too, the car is stock except for bi-pipe.

i talked to the repair shop again today and they do have to pull the motor to replace the engine mounts, i do have an extended warranty that i have purchased years ago and they have fucked me over many times in maintence repairs but the mechanic seems to know his **** around warranty scum bugs and says it is a good possibility that labor for the timing belt and engine pull would be covered. if this is the case that saves me atleast 2 grand, pulling the engine i dont even kno where to begin on the possiblity of upgrades and mods to do, i don't have the skrill to do a K04 upgrade but with about 2k to spend what do u all think wuold be a solid purchase with the engine out

when doing my t-belt i did this entire kit. for preventative maintenance.

also while the engine is out i would do all upgraded engine mounts. snub mount and tranny mounts. i also got a silicone hose kit from samco, diverter valves, all vacuum lines and plastic fittings, valve cover seals, spark plugs, coil packs, water meth, all motul or redline fluids, heat wrap, euro thermal switch, etc. i could go on forever but this covers the basics.
