I've now driven a couple of Mk5 GTI's with VWR's engine mounts (their Fast Road version) and I didn't find either car uncomfortable at all. They also both had poly bushes throughout - Again, VWR's.

GTIjames:
well had all the bits fitted today, bilsten pss10, WALK kit, full set of vf engine mounts  and a little extra one: dbilas flow master k04 intake, heatshield and engine cover.

and also thought i would run it on the their mustang dyno - results were 324bhp and a rather high 353 lbft torque, map looks nice and smooth up until the end but pleased, might improve a bit as car gets used to intake..

sorry for poor and few pics batt on iphone went, but the chap at regal took some so will get some better pics up soon





sorry no decent pics yet of the car on the coils just got home and a bit dark, but you get a glimpse at the lowering on the above pic, is rather low bit more than i wished but looks good, drive home to london was good mix of m's and a roads - ride was firm but not harsh, have it on settings 5 front and rear, so mid way got to flung it round some corners and handled well

vf engine mounts are a big difference, car does vibrate more especially when idling in gear and in traffic i have found myself putting it in neutral more than before, but soon goes once your up and running - main difference is the sound and feel of the car - much more engine noise in the cabin but sounds good though  :evilgrin: engine feels mounted very firmly and you get some good feedback through the steering wheel  when thottling it.

overall car feels totally different from when i set of this morning, hard to explain but good.

Greeners:
Good numbers  :happy2:

I bet she's sounding great too!

....SOLD!! Except that I'll be going to VWR/RacingLine and using their 'Fast Road' engine mounts like their demo GTI has.

:happy2:

john_o:
oooooo very very nice list of selected mods

I would suggest a project thread  :happy2:
How did you find the WALK ?

Engine mounts next for me too , although Im undecided on the version (VF / VWR etc) as yet.
You indicate theres a difference between in neutral and in gear (are you manual or DSG?) why is that ? wouldve expected none or little difference.

Nice power graph  :happy2:, interesting that the superchips ED30 map doesnt have a blip @ 3500 that most other graphs show.
