@savagepandaprojects5 жыл бұрын
That can also depend on the type of mount. (polyurethane/ stainless steel) Most guys are willing to accept a little vibration in exchange for better shifting and drivetrain rigidity especially when making stage 2 power and up. Lots of advantages to upgraded pendulum and dogbone mounts. I suppose it comes down to personal preference and the use of the car

What's happening! my 2 cents for what its worth...so with that situation adding a basic inlet pipe, intake etc would not likely cause any drivability issues. I have seen some of the higher mileage EA888 gen 3 motors start to have issues with faulty cam magnets, leaking seals as well as camshaft actuators etc. Get it to a shop where they have the right resources to assist you. VCDS, ODIS etc.
