Get aftermarket mounts that arent fluid filled such as innovative, ballade oem+, or vibratechnics. With these an etd shouldnt be necessary but will still help with "engine flex".
He's FI'ed and is probably around 300wtq. All stock mounts tear and leak on higher mileage s2000s, even stock. The stock mounts allow for a lot of lateral movement and an ETD should minimize that. My buddy has a ct supercharger kit and said the Ingalls etd helped tremendously with engine response (which probably means less movement of the engine).

I'm boning up on the trade-off options/differences between upgrading the mounts and using an engine torque damper to help preserve the OEM mounts. My question relates to SC installations with the Kraftwerks C38: Is there an effective engine torque damper which can be mounted on that setup? I've read some impressive reviews of the Ingalls, but their bracket which mounts it to the engine interferes with the Kraftwerks SC bracket.
And as a general question, what do you guys do to address the issue of the OEM mounts having such a short life?

Would it be possible to mount up an ETD with a Vortech kit? I'd really like that added upper support/dampening with the blower up front but not sure if either the Spoon, Tegiwa or similar ETD's will fit in with the kit? I'm pretty sure an Ingalls ETD won't fit as the clearance between the cam cover and the blower's pulley is just too tight.

Ingalls definitely not since the Vortech blower sits in that space... ah well... I'll try an ETD whilst I'm still NA to see how I like it
