Engine movement when getting off the pedal

[Peskarik]

Manual Ed30 with Stage 2 (330hp)
Was driving highway, steady 75-85mph, 6th gear, 3000rpm, which means the gas pedal is depressed maybe half an inch.
When I release the gas pedal I have a noticeable jolt from the engine bay, I assume the engine is moving on its OEM mounts (though I have ECS torque arm insert). When I then depress the pedal again gently half an inch, I feel the engine move again.

Is that normal or do I have problems with my engine mounts?

I've been told that installing say full VF engine mount kit will put greater strain on transmission. Plus the increased noise and vibration in the cabin.
While the advantages of full VF/VWR kit are tauter ride, better control, cleaner gearshifts.

Quite unsure what is better, to have the kit or not to have it. I do not do any track days. Just an average driver who is not a racer on straights and in turns.

Or should only the rear engine mount (with poly bush) suffice (as someone recommended):

Don't like that jolting, don't know if it is bad for the car.

Just get the lower dogbone mount - no noise/vibration/movement

He already has the ECS mount

I suspect that if you're getting a jolt as described in spite of your ECS insert then your engine or transmission mounts may be perishing/leaking.

LOL - I meant a 'proper' mount, like the VF one.... not a glorified dildo

The 2.0T FSI is well known for a fair amount of engine movement but it's not a problem. As others have said, a good 'dogbone' mount is the most important of the three and will noticeably deliver the power more directly.

I've got a VWR (Volkswagen Racing) Fast Road dogbone and am about to have the other two mounts as Fast Road too. The Race mounts are solid.

That VWR one looks a cracker, although a completely different design to the VF.... I'm seriously thinking of combining the two

Just dont get off the pedal. Problem solved.

....Except that in some circumstances simply lifting off the throttle is better than using the brakes.
