Neuspeed Torque Arm Insert / ECS Dogbone Insert

As Greenouse suggests, a remapped engine is more likely to put additional stresses through the downpipe area and also, as in my case, can break exhaust mounts. For this reason, Milltek now include a free Torque Arm Insert with their new exhaust systems.

Here's a pic of my broken one : -

hell yeah!!! sweet sound. i was a lil lazy on getting the map done, ran the car for like 8weeks on the blueflame without the map and it just felt wrong, too much noise an not enough movement (like a boyracer car).

but now, since the map, its well sweet, i'm really impressed because before this car i only ever got similar speed delivery out of the jap cars.

got new tyres fitted on friday aswell and its got good traction now. :)

Wax, I had my ECS insert fitted after I realised that the engine was "rocking" a bit more than expected under hard acceleration.

Only got to look into this when I actually lost the plastic grip on top of the oil cap after a couple of runs at Santa Pod. Since the insert and replacement oil cap there's been no problems.

I think all it does is to limit the flex between the engine and gearbox. One notable change I did notice was that it significantly reduced wheel bobble under hard acceleration - where presumably due to the flex the wheels can lift from the road.

Apart from that, haven't experienced any of the vibration in the brake pedal that some people have mentioned in some of the other posts.
