Default Torque Damper

I was wondering if anyone has used one for the xB. I am looking to get one. My motor rocks quite a bit. Also will one that was made for a tC work on an xB?

you need the xb one they are diff we have a different passenger side motor mount. this will make it sound like there is a midget in your bay rubbing a file on your strut tower its far to noisy i would go with the motor mount. i mean look at this hot ness

I dont think the TC one will fit as it mounts to the strut tower on the XB.

Just FYI be prepared for more chassis vibration with either the damper or the urethane engine mount

Too much movement because of a certain mod, or just too much movement from the factory? Guess I'm asking for a why?

TIA

I think all the torque from the turbo. I would guess. The new clutch probably doesn't help either.

I don't think so. But I can't say for sure.

Very easy unless your turbo setup is in the way like mine is. All I had to do was remove the intake piping from the turbo. Changing the MM took me about an hour if I count setup and clean up.

I'd get the GGP mount instead of the damper. If it's too stiff, Nurspec will soon be offering a softer 70A bushing for it.
