Dogbone mount went a while back. The upper Gearbox mount under the airbox is also fooked. Going to do when I do the clutch and flywheel. Had a look on ebay and Ive found non branded ones for as much as £28. Yet a racing spec one online for around £144!
Does anyone or can anyone reconmend one for me?
Polly a must on a mapped car?
What's the best one, and where from?

i think dave_iow still has his ones for sale :huh: upgraded ones!
-
THS Performance mounts are :cool:
-
nope they are sold
As Rhys says THS are the ones to go for :wink:

An alternative I found to buying the whole mount is to replace just the rubber. Black Forest Industries do an insert which you can replace yourself. I think Regal Autosport import them. Although I've not used it so I can't comment on its quality.

THS mounts are decent
Swapped a 2 month old genuine dogbone for a THS, instantly had better gear shift feel and more traction. Much less vibrations compared to polybushes as well.

r32 dsg mount is good not to stiff or soft had it on my maped agu.. poly bushes just break your back :lipsrsealed:
avs parts do r32 dsg mount now for about 35 quid bargian i think.. or if you want to spend a little get the ths mounts rhyso recomended cant fault them :wink:

Didn't mention that I replaced the dog bone with a oem one. it's the upper gearbox mount under the airbox that i need. :)

Yes and we've said to replace it with a THS Peformance mount.
It's not the upper gear box mount; its an engine mount :wink:

hmmm i'm really struggling for cash at the moment. having to pay for a vr6 clutch sachs, and a lightweight flywheel as part of the ecs kit. which is £330.
i was thinking after reading that thread everyones saying the bush is 50% stiffer makes a huge difference etc, but surely that's compared to a fooked oem one? so replacing it anyway with an oem would feel alot better? can't argue with £28 when you don't have much cash although its not oem its ebay LOL...
tough decisions...

If you are replacing then you best be upgrading :tongue:

Fook the clutch off buy my ko3s and injectors :laugh:

If you're on a budget why don't you go for the BFI mount insert kit. You get a stage 1 mount for around the price of an OEM one with a bit of work to fit it in
