Scirocco r mods

Cheers guys, although i had the mount insert in my GTI - the vibration (esp. reversing) is not worth the benefits

Just got the GIAC 1 today...and wow the car drives totally different...
Sounds cliche but the power distribution and gear ratio is so much nicer!!!!
Definitely a go!

Thats why you get the VWR one not the HPA one.

Yes i agree - i recently installed the HPA one and it's driving me insane. Too much vibration when taking off from a standstill (manual car here) and also when at low rpm (like going around a tight corner at 10kph in 2nd gear). I'll be going back to the stock rubber mount with a poly insert.

Yeah, it is a great tune, do a few hundreds km to let it adapt a bit more, you will feel it more alive!

I am kinda used to it already...I thought that vibration is race inspired Definitely a no no for passenger though...

Have you guys tried it with other mounts to see whether it helps a bit?

I have the VWR "Fast road" dogbone mount on my MK5 Gti with a full 3" exhaust and there is no vibration at all just much better power down. I had the same dogbone on my R32, no vibration and then I put the the other 2 mounts in and then there was some extra vibration but the car felt like a go-kart there is so much slop in the engine bay. But you get what pay for, the vwr mounts are not cheap like the hpa one.

interesting... it is the design or materials used in the VWR that make it better?
