Torque Solution: High-Performance Automotive Parts

What This Collection Covers

Torque Solution builds drivetrain, shifter, and chassis hardware for platforms including Subaru WRX and STI, Toyota GR Corolla and GR Supra, BMW, Volkswagen Jetta and Golf, Ford Mustang S550 and S650, Porsche 986, 987, 981, and 718, Nissan GT-R R35, and Honda Civic. This collection covers the hardware that tightens up shifter feel, controls drivetrain movement under power, and supports forced induction and cooling system upgrades on these platforms.

Categories Included

Engine mounts and transmission mounts, shifter rockers and shifter bushings, boost taps and vacuum fittings, turbo blankets and heat management components, strut tower braces, differential bushings, and exhaust hangers.

Engine and Transmission Mounts

Torque Solution engine and transmission mounts use firmer polyurethane or hybrid rubber and polyurethane construction to reduce drivetrain movement under hard acceleration and shifting compared to soft factory rubber mounts. Reduced drivetrain movement improves shift quality and reduces wheel hop on high horsepower and launch heavy applications.

Choosing Mount Firmness

Firmer mounts improve drivetrain control but transmit more vibration into the cabin, so daily driven builds often choose a moderate firmness mount while dedicated track or drag vehicles favor maximum stiffness for consistent launches.

Shifter Bushings and Rockers

Shifter rockers and bushings eliminate the play built into factory shifter linkage, delivering a shorter, more direct shift feel on manual transmission platforms like the Subaru WRX and STI, Honda Civic, and Volkswagen Jetta and Golf. These are a common upgrade paired with a short shifter for the tightest possible shift feel.

Shifter Bushing Kits vs Short Shifters

A shifter bushing kit alone removes slop from the factory linkage without changing shift throw, while pairing bushings with a short shifter reduces both slop and throw distance for the most direct feel.

Boost Taps, Turbo Blankets, and Cooling Hardware

Boost taps and vacuum fitting kits provide additional ports for boost gauges, boost controllers, and other accessories on turbocharged platforms including Subaru WRX and STI and BMW turbo engines. Turbo blankets reduce underhood heat soak from the turbocharger housing, helping protect nearby components and support more consistent intercooler and intake air temperatures.

Why Underhood Heat Management Matters

Excess underhood heat raises intake air temperature and can accelerate wear on nearby hoses, wiring, and plastic components, making turbo blankets and heat shielding a practical addition on turbocharged platforms running sustained boost.

How to Choose the Correct Torque Solution Part

• Confirm the exact year, make, model, trim, and engine before ordering any mount or drivetrain component
• Decide on mount firmness based on daily driven comfort versus maximum drivetrain control for track or drag use
• Pair shifter bushings with a short shifter if the goal is both reduced slop and reduced throw distance
• Confirm boost tap thread size matches the gauge, boost controller, or accessory being installed
• Check turbo blanket fitment against the specific turbocharger housing and manifold configuration
• Inspect factory mounts and bushings for wear before assuming a firmness upgrade alone will resolve drivetrain slop
• Confirm whether hardware or brackets are included with mounts and bushings or must be reused from the factory parts
• Consider combined upgrades, engine mounts paired with a shifter kit address both drivetrain movement and shift feel

Common Questions

What platforms does Torque Solution support?

Torque Solution builds parts for a range of import performance platforms including Subaru WRX and STI, Toyota GR Corolla and GR Supra, BMW, Volkswagen Jetta and Golf, Ford Mustang S550 and S650, Porsche 986, 987, 981, and 718, Nissan GT-R R35, and Honda Civic.

Will firmer engine mounts cause more vibration in the cabin?

Yes, firmer mounts reduce drivetrain movement but transmit more engine vibration into the cabin, so daily driven vehicles often use a moderate firmness while dedicated track or drag cars use the firmest available mounts.

Do I need a short shifter if I install shifter bushings?

No, shifter bushings alone remove play from the factory linkage without changing throw distance, so they can be installed with or without a short shifter depending on the desired shift feel.

What is a boost tap used for?

A boost tap provides an additional port on the intake or manifold to connect a boost gauge, boost controller, or other accessory without modifying factory vacuum lines or fittings.

Do turbo blankets reduce horsepower?

Turbo blankets do not reduce horsepower directly, they help manage underhood heat by containing heat at the turbo housing, which can support more consistent intake air temperatures and protect nearby components from heat damage.

How do I know if my engine mounts need to be replaced?

Excessive engine movement under acceleration, increased vibration, or clunking noises during shifts can indicate worn factory mounts, which is also a common time to upgrade to a firmer Torque Solution mount.

Are Torque Solution mounts safe for daily driving?

Yes, Torque Solution offers mounts in multiple firmness levels, and moderate firmness options are commonly chosen for daily driven vehicles to balance improved drivetrain control with acceptable cabin vibration.

Can I install Torque Solution parts myself?

Many Torque Solution components like shifter bushings and boost taps are straightforward bolt on installations, while engine and transmission mount replacement is more involved and may require supporting the drivetrain during the swap.
