so anybody with the DC trans mount get random KR at lower rpm and very light throttle input?
I have used 2 different tuners and still see it under enrichment but not full pull 3rd gear. from + 3 with ajp and +6 with gh.

DC Transmount?

There are quite a few people who experienced random KR under the same conditions you mentioned with upgraded Torque Mounts.

The stiffer mounts transfer the vibrations to other components, so if some that was slightly moving, might be really vibrating/knocking afterwards.

Its official, the front mount is in, I did run into a snag once it was all together, forgot to tighten up 1 clamp behind the bumper so there is a boost leak. I will more than likely be addressing that tomorrow and do a few full boost pulls and let you all know how it goes!

So I've done a few pulls had 1 leak that sounded like a prolonged fart after 6psi, ended up being a hose clamp that got entirely missed (oops). Its all together and runs great seems to hold pressure fine. It does feel a little different driving it, not faster per say just different. Hoping to get in touch with brad @ajp to get some logs going and see which of the 2 front mounts I want to go with the Tube/fin or bar/plate.

I feel you on that. I have the worst butt dyno. I once added a W/M system to a car that would make it over a second faster in the 1/4 and I could not feel the difference. ****, I can't tell if the 14psi 91 octane Unleashed tune I just installed is faster. I need to go to the track and find out.

Smart. Scary mod but smart. Is this because you have a non perf pack

I may have to drill a new drain plug for mine lol. I have one but the damn thing was rounded out by the previous owner and feels like it was red loctited or something because my EZ Out isn't even getting it loose.

Well, got rid of the tube/fin cooler in the front, looks like the intake temp was actually a little higher than stock. Swapped over to treadstone bar/plate took it for a spin and it seems to drive much nicer. Will datalog tomorrow for comparisions and hopefully, start revising the e30 and 93 tune from AJP and GH!

The mounts will pronounce a vibration elsewhere. The difference you see between the tuning is the exhaust resonance vibrating something. Example of how they tune so differently. Matt likes a lot of part throttle boost from what I've experienced over Brad which might be causing more resonance that is leading to your kr. One of the reasons why I'm not apt to run GH lately. Have issues with maxing KR part throttle and completely repeatable. I'd check around for anything rubbing etc.

make scene as this is always in the part throttle and I did see in my first log on e30 that GH does bring in the boost fast hand ******* the lower rpm but dropped it down lower than I would have thought in the back end.
I need to finish with gh before re loading my e30 for Brad as I had just put in hot pipes and before the log showed a boost leak. With the mount has anybody tried using the factory back mount to see if this will clean up the random KR and still leave the shifts a bit firmer?
