Engine Torque Damper Modification?

My question is not really on topic sorry but does the carbon fibre wrapping stay on the covers OK inside the engine bay with all the heat?

It helps to limit engine movement.

Hello! I have found a few builds with this toque rod modification and I am very curious about it! Does anybody have any info on being able to get this done on my 05 S60 T5 ? Would really appreciate some guidance thanks!

Why do you need amplification? Does the standard mount fail?

I thought it would look nice and provide extra stability

They usually replace all the rubber contact points with metal ones to hold the engine in place better, and once you're doing that you might as well throw in a fun looking strut bar too. It makes the car a little more responsive and provides a lot more driver feedback from the engine. On the other hand that feedback means the car shakes like crazy on idle, so red light's can be a little painful, in an auto it's even recommended to shift to neutral to reduce the shaking.
