....I'm waiting for Jim at JKM (no hurry though) to rearch the details of how he would install one on the DSG.

Sorry, we seem to have digressed this thread.

Neuspeed has these as well, so do APR (the rubber inserts) . I have the Neuspeed one installed on my Bluefin tuned GTI in Australia at it works a charm. No vibration and no wheel hop good upgrade fopr the cost!

Also I know of a few pople who have done it to tuned and stock DSG's with smoother shifts being achieved with the inserts.

I've only got the poly torque insert (Neuspeed) fitted and not an ali dog bone. Not a dramatically felt difference but no more broken exhaust mounts so far!

I guess the juddering doesn't do the exhaust flexi joint and mountings any good then,,I might get one and give it a go at the price..

Gazbut, is the power difference between the 262bhp gti and your 298bhp ed30 really noticable, is it just much better all over the rev range?

It feels fitter all through the rev range pal, but pulls much stronger up the top end, this is due to the bigger turbo as the regular Gti one runs out of puff a bit up the top end
