ECS Tuning MK8 GTI/Golf R ECS Performance Engine Mount

Designed in house, we have designed a Performance Engine Mount that controls fore/aft engine movement and allows for seamless power transfer to the tires all while being extremely comfortable! Wheel hop is eliminated, throttle response is improved and gear engagement is more precise. This design mimics our hugely popular MK7 engine mount redesigned to fit perfectly on the MK8 chassis.

Locking the engine in place is accomplished through two vertically captured 70A Durometer Polyurethane Bushings, encapsulated between three 6061-T6 Billet Machined Aluminum bodies using a corrosion resistant securing bolt.

Our design on the MK8 cars had to be unique, as this new vehicle brought upon new design challenges. Using the same successful polyurethane material used in other chassis, our metal components were revised to fit the MK8 application. Throughout rigorous long term testing we proved our design choices were successful with countless miles, hard launches and abuse, pushing our engine mounts to their limits!

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) are minimized over our competitors due to years of product testing and development. Designed to absorb NVH while withstanding extreme driveline forces, we've engineered our bushings using an optimal formula and durometer polyurethane, tuning the natural frequency and preload to the forcing frequency of the engine. These are the most comfortable engine mounts we've ever designed and we can't wait for you to experience them first hand!

This allows for smooth power delivery through the driveline and to the tires, all with very minimal chassis feedback to balance comfort with performance.

All machined components are constructed of strong and lightweight 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum and are then anodized black for a great appearance and corrosion resistance.

This mount features a mounting tab on to retain the OEM mounting location of the washer fluid reservoir on the Golf R and to mount our catch can system! Genuine Volkswagen Torque to Yield Fasteners are included for proper installation.

**Please note that, while our design far exceeds the competition, the inherent nature of driveline feedback is transmitted through the gearbox, resulting in added NVH through the chassis of the vehicle. NVH will reduce after a few hundred miles as the polyurethane bushings break in.**
