Mods to stop or limit wheel hop

[candy turbo]

i fitted the neuspeed torque arm insert and mine as virtually gone i thought it was bad before easy mod cost about £25 fit it yourself

will eliminating wheel hop bring on other issues ?, for eg added vibration, added wear, cracking exhaust parts or more serious issues like popping drive shafts or shearing cogs ?  , im not saying it does, just another slant on it as perhaps manufacturers left it for a reason

With beefier mounts, you're going to get harsher vibration - VW won't do that from standard as customers won't accept it, the GTI in their eyes is supposed to be refined.

You're less likely to break things such as you've mentioned, as there's less movement in the engine/transmission - if anything knackered, sloppy mounts cause failures elsewhere.

Milltek include a free torque arm insert (Poly thingy!) with their exhaust to help protect the zorst mounts which also have been revised up front.

Gotta dash to Berks meet (that's not a meeting of berks!)

I fitted the ECS mount and I have not noticed any cabin vibrations or any side effects. for the cost its well worth it.
You dont even need a specialist/equip to do it.

as above really but with the neuspeed one , no vibration over the standard one and judder i had when pulling off has gone and the old one was nt faulty as my octavia before had the same judder when pulling away but never got round to fitting neuspeed to that

i thought the clutch was faulty in my octavia mate it went back twice but thats how the tfsi unit is !!when i test drove gti s and ed 30 they are all the same the neuspeed torque arm insert solved the problem completely !
  if you get one mate its worth ordering a new bolt from vw as the neuspeed one dont come with one !!

yeh i even took mine back to VW to get them to check it, they convinced me it was ok, and even let me out in the demonstrator to erm erm demonstrate it
