Nice!

Looks good! The 2pt lower tie bar makes a decent difference. Mine is from Pierce Motorsports but it should give the same result. From what I've read, wheel hop is reduced significantly without much more vibration with the SXTH Element EM3 lower engine mount. I don't have one, so I can't comment with firsthand experience, but that's what I've heard.

Copy and thanks! I was considering the SXTH unit, but $300, these guys are stupid insane with their prices. Whiteline has a bushing that will do the trick I'm told for $33, and it doesn't harshen the ride like everyone complains about with the SXTH unit. I already have their $799 EK1 (at this price you still have to purchase insurance that you'll get it, as they take zero responsibility), getting my tunes from N75, and will be avoiding SXTH as much as possible. The allure of this car to me is how inexpensive it is to own and tinker with, if I'm going to throw away $$$ I'll work on my FD.

Yeah true. I got a cheap one off Amazon and it worked great for controlling engine movement but rattled the cabin unbearably at idle, and it was a softer bushing insert than what Whileline sells, which is why I mentioned the SXTH bushing since people generally have pretty good luck with it. Then again, I put in both sides of that bushing and a lot of people say to only put one side in, so for 33 bucks it’s probably worth a try for the Whiteline ones. Whiteline makes some good stuff, so it’s probably gonna be better than my cheap Amazon one I got

Installed that "Whiteline Heavy Duty Lower Engine Bushing" and it's dramatically better! So live and responsive and the vibration/noise is minimal so far. I did used some urethane grease on the connecting points to help though. Also, deleted the Hot Pipe Resonator and that's definitely worth the $30 too. I do think my BPV is failing with boost I'm getting now though...

Not throwing the BPV overboost code anymore, but I have the GFB BPV/BOV and Pierburg solenoid in hand, so will be installing those as soon as it quits raining. Went with the Hybrid unit as it was the cheapest option (weird) so I'm going to give it a try with the horn and recirc installed to see how I like the sound. If it's too weak, then I'll delete the bypass portion again.

Finally installed the GFB Hybrid BOV. I had it first set to be 100% atmosphere and it's way loud! Like low boost (7-8PSI) with it is louder than the factory BPV (disconnected). So I connected the recirc as well and I'm happy with the sound. Performance is top notch as to be expected and I of course paired it with the Pierburg Solenoid. I replaced the AFT Whiteline Bushing with the factory one too, it started to vibrate too much! Now it's great, stiff on accel and softer on let off without vibes!
