Description:
NEUSPEED® Engine Torque Damper - Engine Torque Arm Insert 08.5-up Launching your car at full throttle from a standing start will usually result in an annoying Clunk followed by a slight vibration. This is caused by excessive engine and drivetrain movement. NEUSPEED®’s engine torque damper is a urethane bushing that replaces the factory rubber bushing inside the factory torque damper arm to eliminate movement for a more direct power.
Fits: 2002-2008 Audi A4 (B6/B7) 1.8T, 2.0T FSI
• Manual and Automatic Transmission
• Red urethane bushing only.

Based in Camarillo, California, Neuspeed was one of the first aftermarket brand names to capitalize on the custom import car scene. Starting out in the late 1970s with a focus on VW performance parts, Neuspeed has been a family run business for over 35 years. Now, with all of that industry experience under their belt, they have significantly expanded their lineup to include products for many of the most popular sport compact cars on the market today. It has long been the Neuspeed philosophy to provide the best possible parts without cutting quality in order to reduce prices. So while you may pay a bit extra, you know that you are getting a part that fits and works properly. In addition they believe in creating modular components that allow you to customize and tune your car in stages according to your individual budget and goals. It is this type of forward thinking that has propelled Neuspeed to the front of the pack.
Q: What is an engine torque damper? Why buy one?
A: According to Ingalls, "An engine torque damper is engineered to reduce deflection under hard acceleration and cornering for improved performance and power to weight transfer. Deflection in the motor mounts, as with the chassis and suspension, is a formidable enemy in power and weight transfer, robbing valuable horsepower and control. They eliminate the huge amounts of torque shock that result from wheel-hop and once installed they transfer more power to the road and improves acceleration, shifting, overall control and balance."
Q: Will an engine torque damper help prevent motor mounts from wearing out faster?
A: Engine torque dampers can definitely help prevent premature engine mount wear, although they are mostly used to help eliminate torque shock from wheel-hop and to help keep more power to the road.
