I have a full set of OEM mounts, but I may be interested after one last attempt to reduce the vibrations. Thanks for the offer, Merlin!

The problem with filling the mounts is that over time (quite fast, actually) the PU begins to stretch and unstick from the rubber... you know the rest. I'm using regular PU 50 and not Tiger Bond, but I feel this is the next thing to try :)

The rear one have to be stronger than OEM because I won't use a front one at all. I have to put the turbo somewhere...
I will probably replace the front mount with one of these engine dampers but I haven't decided yet.

I'll make another (last) try. Will leave the Innovative Mount's rear mount in place and will replace the other two with OEM mounts. I will get back with feedback in two days.

I have two questions::
- is there someone who has mounts filled with Tiger Bond? Any feedback?
- do you have any feedback about these engine damper things?

Thanks in advance!
Daniel

I used sikaflex 221, after 8000 miles they appear to be in as good a shape as at the start.

Ahh, did not realise you had no front mount. Yes, Orem mounts with an engine damper might give you what you want.
