So I got my car flashed today along with many other things and I am not sure that I like the power delivery now?
It transitions into boost soo smoothly now that the car doesn't feel like a turbo at all...I'm am not sure that i like this.It is too cool out to tell if it helped with the hesitation,but it seems to have definately changed some things.

Now we get to the good stuff!
Installed Kooldino's NEW rear motor mount insert and let me tell you ,for the short time I drove it tonight(which was only about three miles) it felt good.No more jerking and bucking when letting off of the gas and almost absolutely no vibration from it.it gives good throttle response on and off the throttle.Not too touchy like I have heard about the AWR's.Still might be a little on the soft side for my tastes but all in all a very good MUST HAVE item!

Now the downside...IF YOU ARE NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINED.....DON'T TRY THIS INSTALL YOURSELF!You will get frustrated and never end up finishing the job.If you DON'T have a lot of tools at your disposal.....DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!This is a pretty decently hard job...NOT FOR A NOVICE!

We spent Nearly 5 hours installing this and a couple of other secret goodies tonight.The mount itself took me about 2.5 - 3 hrs to install.Most of that was cussing and trying to get the damn wiring harness out of the way to gain access to the mount bolts.

Definately a mod worth having but not for the inexperienced in the garage.

I will give you guys more info after I drive it some more tomorrow.
It's late ,and I am tired.

Hopefully I'll be installing this mount soon.

I echo everythign Matt said about the rear motor mount install. It's a royal PITA. I have already done it once with the AWR mount and I don't recommend anyone try it alone. Spend lots of time reading the forum and people's advice that have installed it before giving it a go.

Well ,I got a lot of driving in last night and a few races.....Need less to say the motor mount is working GREAT!I did start to notice a slight vibration at idle...AND I MEAN SLIGHT...like what you would get when the AC kicks on..nothing more.The car is running like an absolute beast right now.

Went up against an old fox body stang on the highway that was definately not stock...He decided he wanted to race from about 55MPH...he downshifted to third i assumed and I left it in 4th...mere 2-2.5 seconds I was oll over his bumper trying to get the Fawker to move..he knew i had just owned him.I did it again with the same result ....He quickly exited the highway after that.
Ran a modded IS300 ...once again highway pulls....I pulled on him pretty good as well.It was my buddies car and let me tell you ...I raced him last year and i didnt pull him this hard.He immediately asked me what I had done this week when we got to where we were going.
All in all it was a good night last night.
