So I'm looking into buying strut bars. I really like the J's Racing ones and also the Cusco ones because of their design and overall look. I'm interested in the Cusco package deal from Bulletproof Automotive for $310 front and back. But I love J's Racing stuff as do many fitfreaks do. Also on Bulletproof, theres a package of the front strut along with the torque damper for $363. My question is does the torque damper really make a difference in power, acceleration, etc? Anyone running the torque damper and do you feel a difference?

link to the deals?

 

im not to familiar with the pros and cons of an engine torwue damper. ive never had one and i havent read much on them. but i do know for a fact that the only ETD's that will fit USDM fits are the ingalls stiffy, the one from dme and the spoon torque damper which is made specificly for the USDM fit.

 

I think YeeFit will be selling his Spoon ETD soon in lieu of other mods.

 

ingalls looks like it actually works, not too sure about that spoon one though.

 

i have the ingalls one and it works the shifts feel smoother and the car does blog out as much

 

Bulletproof Automotive

do you think i'll get the same effect with my AT?

 

the fit deffinitely needs something to stiffen the engine. i have blown three intercooler hoses off due to engine flex at full boost but i cant run my torque damper with my turbo so i am doing motor mounts instead. but it just goes to show you how much our engines flex.

 

i have an AT

 

holy sh!t thats insane...wut's considered full boost like 10 psi???

thanks for all your guys' comments btw

 

my bov says full boost is about 6psi. i will take videos of the engine flex when i go to the dyno.
