I did the 50 RPM raise and it didn’t change much. 1000 miles of driving broke it in a lot though.

I've had the Revo mount for around 5-6 months. From my experience, the NVH comes from the other two mounts. I combined this puck with 034 mounts and The NVH almost disappeared. It felt really nice. However, in 1 month, the transmission mount got worn and started to vibrate like hell. I requested a replacement from waranty and again, one month later the same issue. I'm even thinking that the puck is too solid and all the movement is reflected in the transmission mount since its not as strong as the revo mounts. Gonna order new mounts to pair them with my revo puck
Going with Revo or BFI engine mounts?
Going full revo. I thought about bfi, but ill just do it the right way hehe.

Your experience with the trans mount is what I'm also watching out for. I've heard of it happening in a number of cases. Will probably end up doing more Revo stuff too. If your in Puerto Rico right now, hope you got power back in your area!
Just installed the top revo mounts. They increase vibration, but after two dayd I feel like the vibration is reducing. However, the noise in the cabin is drastically increased. Im suprised since they advertise them with no noise or vibrations. Anyway, its a great upgrade, theres a big improvement over 034's. Engine feels tight and shifts are awesome.
Btw, yes Im in PR. Thankfully me and my relatives are fine. Theres a lot of people that still needs help tho.
My feeling on the Revo puck has dropped a couple notches. Maybe it needs a re-torque. I will check that before a final opinion. See video and listen at launch, you will see and hear what I mean:

The puck with the stock pendulum arm is still going to allow a lot of lateral, rotational, and orbital movement of the motor and transmission, though lateral movement should be less prevalent in a straight line. Go BFI Stage 2 Engine and Transmission mounts and a Roc Euro pendulum arm if you want the most locked down setup you can get. Save yourself some money and buy the BFI Stage 2 transmission insert instead of the pre-assembled tranny mount.
It wouldn't surprise me that by installing just the puck you've put a hurting on the OEM engine and trans mounts and they are pretty loose now.
Thanks for your feedback, and agree. Tried to get away with the less expensive solution. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. Many people don't get wheelhop with just an 034 insert, and the Revo is supposed to be better, go figure. I will do some dd on your suggestions. Did 7 runs, got wheelhop on 3, so maybe it's too soon to have affected the oem mounts...I hope
