How to Install a BFI Torque Arm / Dogbone Insert In a MK5 / MK6 / MK7 / A3

Here we outline the proper steps on how to install a BFI Torque Arm / Dogbone Insert in a MK5 / MK6 / MK7 / A3. This insert significantly improves shifing, eliminates wheel hop, and puts more power to the ground. More information here: blackforestindustries.com/col...

Just installed mine last night, struggled a bit on the instal but once I was done it's honestly night and day! Before install I couldn't grip to save my life and my car would wheel hop like a mother, and no it's amazing!! Shifts are very smooth and tight! The traction is greatly increased, even the throttle response is better. I would recommend to anyone that is sstgruggling to put power down, best 35 bucks you'll spend! I went with the bfi stage 1, cabin vibrations are almost non existent besides driving in reverse.

Did you install this along with engine and tranny mounts? Or just by itself?

[@ryanramos7374]

Oscar Guerrero just by itself, that's how noticeably different iut feels to deive. The engine and tranny mounts will be my next purchase!

Cant wait to put mine in this weekend!!

Would you suggest changing to an aftermarket dog bone also while installing this?

Works on Skoda Octavia 2015 1.4 tsi chpa?

[@blackforestind]

Yes the correct part number for the 2015 Octavia, should be EBFI78-Q5-021 for stage 1/ EBFI78-Q5-022 for stage 2

[@oney6744]

are the bolts one time use?

[@blackforestind]

No, the bolts are not torque to yield and can be reused.

what's the name of that song?

[@jarrodarnett8296]

Annoying

[@TheMainMan318]

What exactly is this for?

[@blackforestind]

The Torque Arm Insert fills the void in the rear factory engine mount. By filling this void you limit excessive engine movement which allows more power to be directed to the wheels, instead of being lost in energy transfer into the engine mounts themselves.

this music is really god awful

Good thing you can mute it...

[@jarrodarnett8296]

Do you leave the factory washer in? “Torque to 75ftlbs with a 1/4 turn”??? The fuck does that even mean? The install for all the mounts are easy, but some of the shit you leave out, must of had the receptionist write the commentary...

[@blackforestind]

Jarrod, we're sorry you're having trouble with this install. Regarding the hardware, there is no factory washer, only the washers and hardware included with our kit should be used. 75 ft lbs + 1/4 turn means using a torque wrench you torque the bolt to 75 ft lbs, then using a breaker bar or large ratchet you turn the bolt 1/4 turn or 90* if that is easier to understand for you.

[@jarrodarnett8296]

blackforestind, No issues here! People complaining how long it took to install the mount?!? It took me 90 minutes to install the motor, trans and dogbone mounts. I think it’s just stupid that you would use the factory tq spec that is ment for a “bolt stretch” application, when you supply grade 8 hardware with your products. Why not just calculate a torque and modify the instructions? Or do you not trust your products enough to deviate from the vehicle manufacturers tq?

[@MrMole17]

common phrasing if you knew what you were doing, torque to spec then add a quarter of a turn..
