The engine mounts I see many people use, regardless of Audi, VW or Skoda, or model, are the APR ones...
APR Engine Mount Insert

I haven't personally used one though.

Why? 80 Duro for manual transmissions & 90 Duro for DSG transmissions.

My guess is that it's because the DSG gearbox is about 30kg heavier than the manual, therefore the need to use a harder compound to achieve the same result.

Why don't you just bolt the engine straight to the chassis? Can't really see an issue with that.

(sorry, couldn't find the sarcasm tags)

Could the guaranteed smooth shifting of the DSG also play a part (since not everyone shifts manuals butter smooth all the time)?

Nothing to stop you if you don't mind a bit more NVH. I know someone who fitted a polyureathane dogbone mount to his diesel and he loves it even though it'd loosen fillings at idle.

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
