Ok, I installed the new 50 durometer motor mount bushings Ptuning gave me and WOW it makes a big difference! I had installed the original 60 durometer bushings with the kit and did get some additional vibrations in the dash, rear mirror, AP2 console etc. After a few thousand miles it did get better and was not a real problem, but it was still there. The only downside I had with this kit was the added vibration and it is MUCH better now.
These new bushings have eliminated the dash vibration and the rear view mirror vibration also. My AP2 console, which I kept open, I can now close and it does not vibrate. Let me say that when I mean vibration it was not excessive! Once cruising you never really noticed anything.
Anybody on the fence about this kit due to the motor mount should worry no longer. This has made the best kit on the market even better! You just cannot beat an all vband setup for reliability IMHO. Any thought I had about changing due to the motor mount is now gone.

The ptuning kit still available?
Can't be going through 100 pages lol. Saw something about SOS using the design?
I'm after a rhd compatable kit, trying to look at all options

Wondering if it's safe to drive around with this kit installed with the stock ECU/injectors/map sensor with a charge pipe disconected for smog purposes? I will need to drive it like that for about 80kms or so and I don't want to blow anything up.

Remove turbo and squeeze through top.
Remove manifold.
Install stock manifold,cat, turbo back, O2 sensors etc.
Install smog pump or emulator.
Drive 30+ miles to activate readiness lights
No need to remove Ptuning motor mounts as stock headers and exhaust fits nicely.
Takes a half afternoon to do it.
The beauty of a V band design.

Hey there :-) i went through the 2700 ish comments and must say i'm impressed how you Ptuning take care of your customers.. Every time someone would have a problem with its kit or have any questions you'd make sure everything's ok, so thumbs up to Ptuning 
It's not anytime soon but i'm looking into turbos and was wondering if a gtx3071r would be an interesting turbo for the kit and how it would be different from the gt3076r.
(Excuse my english, i'm french canadian)

We have not received any requests for a GT or GTX3071R so we do not have any dyno information on them at this time. We have such good spool-up and response with our turbo system using the base GT3076R that no one has ever wanted to run a smaller turbo. However, we will be testing a GTX3071R on our second FR-S shop car, so we'll be able to compare it directly to the base GT3076R that we include with our new FR-S/BRZ turbo system. From there, we can should have a very, very, good idea of what to expect if we were to run one with our S2K turbo system.
