^^ you only feel some vibration at start up and shutdown. You can feel the engine pull the car more. Worth the 80$ i say, specially since you dont have to have it pressed in. once your on the road you cant really tell its there until you boost and you notice no engine slop.
Here's my review on this item...
First off, I've installed the BLOX Motor Mount on an '05 Lancer Ralliart. As mentioned in the above posts, installation is about 10 min... You'll just need 14mm and 17mm sockets with wrench and a jackstand.
Now, for the testing...
Vibration transfer is NOT MINIMAL as described here, and if your A/C is on, it gets even worse. Vibration does stop and isn't felt while driving, but when you're stopped, you'll have to deal with it.
Shifting is mildly better since the engine hardly moves, but the stiffness and steps you feel through gears in the shifter is still there. I'm getting some solid shifter bushings to see how they perform along with the BLOX Mount.
Taking off hard is now easier, but more torque is transferred to the wheels. This means no more wheel hop and more tire burning if you go too heavy on the throttle. If you squeeze the pedal instead of pushing it all the way, you'll feel a much better response than before the solid mount.
Speed wise... No more dead spots through 3rd, 4th and 5th gear when racing. I noticed a slightly better speed increase throughout these gears.
Overall: Apart from the vibration issue, this is a great whp recovery from engine movement, when you're not stopped...
I bought it off eBay for the same price that shows here.

So I just got power added, pushing 330ish to the wheels. I notice that on/off boost the engine moves a lot. Will the front engine roll stopper control this slop so the engine doesn't shift as much from on to off boost transition?
If so how do I order?

Another thing I've noticed in long drives is that my foot-to-pedal sync is way off. Now, every little movement to pedal is felt in the engine. Before, I would push the pedal and feel a lag in throttle response, now I can feel every single movement I do to it. This keeps me a bit scared while driving since I can't find that exact point to keep the speed where I want it. Don't get me wrong... It's awesome not having that lag anymore, so I believe your issue should be solved with this single add-on.
I bought the mount from eBay. Just search for Blox EVO or Blox 4g63 and you'll find it. I paid $80, which is the same price shown here, but I got that price by making an offer that, combined with shipping, would total the $80 I paid for it.

Not sure if I'm just mechanically dumb but I thought this was a easy install. I got everything off and bolted back on but no matter how I try I cannot get the bolts to line up to car and the support bolt, it's either one or the other.
Here are two photos with evertything bolted up minus the support bolt for the mount. You see how it's off and I cannot get a bolt in. Help

Bring the cross member out by removing all of its screws. Then, with the mount bolted on the cross member, mount the screw that goes to mount and the engine first so that it falls in place, but don't tighten it yet. After that, start putting back the cross member screws one by one, starting with the one alone in the rear most part of the cross member without tightening it. Mount the 2 other screws to align the cross member and then start bolting them in. When the cross member is tightened and in place, you can tighten the support bolt that holds the mount to the engine. This is the only way I found it to fall in place.
Remember that the fastory mounts are rubber, and since the cross member was not in place when you were bolting everything back up, the rear mount might be a bit deformed, which is why it won't align, unless the support bolt is mounted first.
Let me know if this works for you. If it doesn't, I'll take mine out and take pictures of the process to aid you better.
