65 bucks is a cheap way to eliminate wheel hop. We (the owner not me) test launched plenty of times last night after install NO WHEEL HOP.

Listen man I am trying to help with mods on the xB and you come on here and bash it I dont know what your beef is with me but persoanlly It doesnt bother me.

Your massive turbo thats sweet, how much power you making with it and what size is it? What type of engine management are you useing?

The foam is merely there to seal everything together it is not an integral part of the mount.

What engine management are you running?

I have a Turbo tC that has 400WHP on 14 PSI with my Garrett T3/T4 .60 Trim turbo. Everything done by me I know my way arond this boost sutff.

Guys this really is a great piece! I am the one that is testing it out right now. I did a couple clutch dumps at 3,000 rpm and the wheels slid for a second or two, **then limited slip took over ;) but there was NO WHEEL HOP!! Sure this was just on my stock box right now, but I think that's pretty significant considering I used to think someone was throwing boulders at my box whenever I would try to take off hard lol.

And Cory stop hating. You've brought some good ideas to this site, Just because you didn't put it in YOUR car doesn't mean it's a bad piece. Obviously you have money. I'm referencing the completely idiotic stunt you pulled where you "blew your engine on purpose by putting it up to 38 psi" But not everybody has money like you.

This is a cheap piece with a lot of research put into it. If you don't want one, don't buy one. But don't hate on it just because it's not what YOU put in YOUR car.

Blue knows a LOT about this stuff and I obviously trust him enough to put his mounts in my car. Definitely worth the price guys.

You get what you pay for is a highly overrated phrase. Most of the time it's true, but intelligence and logic can often save you a lot of cash. A good example? Tell me guys, is it worth it to buy a 1000 dollar HKS Metallic Catalytic Converter? The smart answer would be "no".

I'm not on either of the sides in this topic about the engine mount, but some of you guys have to stop being so one-tracked/close minded about everything.

Majority of the money you spend on the other mount isnt for the Polyurathane it is for he cnc machined mount with the nut plates installed. I merely use the stock mount bracket and mod it. It is cheaper and more cost effective. This will last a very long time trust me.


Thank you from the old.

Alright, well thanks for not hating haha.

Anyways the vibrations are definitely there. I can feel it quite a bit when I start the car, but then it kinda dies out as the car is just running. Still noticable though. If i put the ac on while at idle it starts shaking the dash, but I don't even have the rear ones in just yet. I'm interested to see how big a difference that will make.

Your storys arent adding up. I think your a Liar persoanly Coryjames. What you have stated doesnt make sense. Oh and by the way a GT30R isnt a Huge turbo just letting you know. Also You said you Run E85 What modifications have you done to your fuel system to be able to run E85????
