I've been reading a lot of forums about torque mount inserts and i'm wondering if anyone has experience with a 2.5L. Seems to be mostly 2.0T talking about it. I want to tighten up without losing much comfort and making the car feel cheap. I'm looking at the BFI insert... anyone used or driven a 2.5L with one or any other recommendations?

I had the stage 1 from BFI, took it off the car. Way too much vibration for me, even after the 500 mile break in period. Driving my car now without having to listen and FEEL the vibrations is wonderful. This is just my opinion though, as many people do not seem to mind the vibration and noise. To me, the trade off was not worth it.
torque mount insert? the $40 thing on the pendulum mount (aka dog bone)?
nah. i mean, its great for 40, and it does a good job. vibrations are introduced, and if they were (ymmv) they would be minimal.
I had it for 2 years.
now i have the HPA puck. is 1000 times better. the car performs WAY better.
accelerates better
turns better (everything is more "solid")
shifts crisper
... BUT. it does introduce a decent ammount of vibrations. not for the faint of heart.

lol. if the insert is making too many vibrations on your car (it didnt in mine) dont try the HPA puck.
i have the 84A and its serious stuff. Performance wise, its awesome!
