   Quick query: the (alloy?) bracket which holds the engine to the chassis at the ECU end - are the VTR and VTS brackets the same?
   
   Switching to a Group N mount which needs a bigger hole drilled in the bracket, so trying to pick up a spare incase I ever need to swap back to the original engine mount.
   
   Cheers

   Ah, gotcha. Are the VTS engine mount brackets all the same - i.e. MK1 the same as MK2?

   I am mate. You need to run a 12mm drill through the engine mounting bracket though - the vibra mount has a thicker bolt than the standard mount (which are prone to snapping).

   Going for the fast road ECU engine mount mate.
   
   I've already got a Powerflex lower gearbox mount and a Pug Racing upper gearbox mount, so adding the vibra mount will essentially give me Group N mounts all round.
   
   It looks like VTS engine mount brackets are the same regardless of year. GTI ones will be the same if the car is a phase 2.

   Can I just ask where you are purchasing your engine mounts from? I've got a powerflex lower gearbox mount but can't find the top 2 anywhere?
