Default Please change out your motor mounts!
My car has 78000 miles, and was NA for those amount of miles. Anyways, I upgraded my engine mounts as a precaution today due to boost. To my surprise, they were ripped in half when I removed them! I had no idea they were torn because my car felt smooth. Just giving you guys a heads up if your over 78k miles with original engine mounts.

I read that the 75A were the best compromise for daily/ tracking.

Nope, put in a "low mileage" motor @ 215k along with an AP2 trans and refreshed diff.

I didn't feel like they were when I drove his car. In fact it still felt very stock-ish.

The 75A I got makes my seat vibrate under idle. I heard they soften up after broken in.
