The factory bushings do a satisfactory job, while limiting vibrations, but only during sedate driving conditions. Under hard acceleration, the pendulum mount (commonly referred to as the "dogbone" or by VW as the "torque arm") acts to limit rotational movement of the engine. We recommend the Stage 1 insert to majority of our customers. These are the only MQB inserts available that feature a specifically engineered dimension that limits unwanted vibration, offering the best compromise available. Our Stage 1 Torque Arm Insert is aimed at maximizing daily comfort while still offering optimized performance gains over stock. VAG has been using either mount with no rhyme or reason to year, model, or trim.
Video Comparison Between Stock and BFI 2.*Disclaimer - Please verify which mount type you have (1 or 2) by going under the vehicle to check. This double interlock design removes shear stress from the bolts and makes the mount much stronger as a whole.Īs you can see below - the two pieces "lock" together when mated - and the socket bolts are under assembly tension load: The inner tubes nest into the recesses of the center portion of the bracket, and the arm is in-turn notched to allow the center portion to nest inside the arm. When assembled it doesn't simply rely on the shear strength of the bolts holding it together, it is doubly supported. The use of billet aluminum instead of cast and an increase in minimum thickness creates a mount that is dramatically stronger than the cast stock arm.Įach engine bracket employs a double interlock design. We are the first to develop a fully Billet Replacement arm for the 2.5 engine mount application. All bosses are matched replicas of the stock locations, and all tool clearances and specs are maintained. Utilizing laser scanning technology - we are the first to offer a solution that gives a factory fit and finish to each mount. Please Note: Any aftermarket motor mount / trans mount / dogbone mount that is firmer than the OEM mount can increase noise and/or vibration to some level above the stock mount. We recommend Stage 2 mounts for heavily modified MK5/MK6 5-cylinder vehicles. STAGE 2 with its 85a durometer bushings are more for the hardcore enthusiast who is more concerned with performance than cabin vibration, it is a great choice for spirited runs and track cars.
We recommend Stage 1 mounts for stock & lightly modified MK5/MK6 5-cylinder vehicles. STAGE 1 with its 70a durometer bushings are geared towards the spirited enthusiast who wants better control over motor movement without the sacrifice of excessive vibrations.
