Scrap the whole idea mate and get a front mount fitted.
Upgrading the top mount is like trying to make your fridge cooler by blowing on it. :thumb:

Either get a plate made, or get it welded up my a local fabrication shop. some STI top mounts are good for 400 BHP, I'd stick with the top mount :thumb:

fridge cooler by blowing on it ...:lol1:
