Super effective on DSG cars... Fixed the slop in the shifts, and got rid of wheel hop all together, and I'm running Michelin Pilot Super Sports on k04 power, no wheel hop at all.
I have the HPA 85A puck FYI.... so more then just an insert. NVH isnt bad, not great in first gear but after that its like stock. It gets softer after about 200 miles...

i had the insert in for a while and it made a big difference from stock. but i've been running the VWR subframe mount for bout 9 months now, and i advise that u skip the insert and go straight to that. it made an even bigger difference. i regret not installing the VWR mount from the start. it's pretty easy to install as well, as long as you dont care about keeping the stock bushing. i destroyed mine to install the VWR, but stock ones are only like $40 so no biggy when i go back to OEM'ing everything.
also, u want even quicker shifts, get the tyrolsport deadset collar kit for the subframe. i've had it in for about 2 weeks, and it's awesome! it's also something i wish i would've gotten a long time ago.

Any downsides to the VWR Subframe mount? I have heard about vibration and NVH? Which what is NVH lol?

I've got the VWR Subframe mount. It eliminated wheel hop and made gear shifting better by reducing the DSG movement. I'd suggest you either get a VWR Subframe mount or the HPA puck. The insert will just get destroyed after sometime as most of the guys have experienced here.
FYI, it will cause a lot of vibration if you are still on OEM engine and DSG mounts.

I have the same puck and dogbone and agree with the above impressions. Although I'm still on stock tires and get wheel hop....junk...but gotta burn em up to justify pss to the wife.

I have just the simple insert, I love it. Idle is a little rough but shifts are seriously quick and intense. Wheel hop is a thing of the past. I am very impressed with the $20 piece of rubber. Btw I'm K04 (Revo stage 3) and on stock tires. No wheel hop, just lots of spinning lol.

I had an Autotech insert, which is just an aluminum spacer, and I removed it after about 3 months. When I had it, the shifts were harder/firmer and wheel hop was just about zero.
The DSG issue of NVH in reverse was too much for me in my calm daily driver. Idle vibrations increased a bit as well, and my guess is more than a puck or low durometer poly insert on both counts.
If you can install/uninstall it yourself, buy a $30 low durometer insert and see if you like it. From all the reviews I've seen, the full puck setups are better but also require a bit more install time/effort.
