oh they are bad, I would just four wheel slide it into a wall. If they are here in time I will be on the track. If not I will watch.

The DSG "Shocks" the drive train (no clutch slip) - the manual you can slip it (clutch) for smoother take off. Thats our recommended settings for people who have not used the mounts before.

i have the neuspeed TAI. first few days were horrible, it felt like the dashboard was going to fall apart.

a few weeks on it's bedded in and it feels great! :p

it reduces the engine movement for sure, no more shuddering effect when launching hard with the DSG

i wonder if the VWR engine mount is much better...

I guess it would shock it too, I don't slip clutches

The main difference you get with a stiffer TAI is the amount of vibration at the clutches friction point. The problem with a DSG car is that you cant control that friction point at all so adding a stiffer TAI can annoy some people. On a manual car you can up the revs a little bit which tends to reduce the vibration considerably when using a stiffer mount.

Im a big fan of replacing the whole pendulum mount as with the BSH setup. Its more expensive but the re-engineering the entire arm has allowed them to product a product that is not only unoffensive to drive with but actually feels more solid than with just a TAI. Its especially good on manual cars where the standard driveline shunt really is more noticeable through the clutch pedal.

Is the APR engine mount a DIY job, or does it need a mechanic/special equipment & tools to do?

ColinG from Melbourne is selling a BSH Engine Mount Kit for a MK5 GTI here. Assuming that the MK5 GTI mount is suitable for the Golf R, there seems to be a good deal to be had there...

Colin G has sold quite a few bargains in that thread yes. Im talking about the pendulum mount he has already sold for $145. Here is a link to the product we are talking about BSH 09+ TSI Pendulum Mount - $179.00 : Dub Ad·dic·tion [duhb uh-dik-shuhn]

The side mounts are for people looking to further improve their cars but they arent for everyone. Vibration isnt overly offensive with the BSH ones but they do change the character of the car. BSH setups are fine for mk5 or mk6 yes
