Question Motor Mount Question - 1g Talon TSI

I have polyurethane mounts for my 1g. The car shakes quite a lot during idle, the dash shakes, my keys shake in the ignition, the data logger shakes, change shakes in the coinbox, the battery box shakes in the trunk, everything shakes! Its almost untolerable to drive daily.

*I realize going to these mounts that they would do this, but i was curious to know wheather going to stock mounts and running a custom mounted(im assuming what it is called) adjustable "torsion bar" or "torque bar" set stiff would help reduce a shake at idle yet perform just like polyurethane mounts at the 1/4mile track.*

I know going to these polyurethane mounts benefit in the 1/4 mile times because you lose power when the motor stresses/torque and move back and forth with stock mounts.

I also understand that these "torsion bars" help during the autox. The motor reacts more naturally when you get on and off the throttle.

I cannot find a picture to illustrate what i am talking about regarding the "torsion bar". If someone could help me out finding a picture that would be nice.

How i describe this "torsion bar" from what iv seen, it looks like a hydralic shock somewhat similar to whats put on a hatch of a car to lift the trunk up but much smaller in size for the engine bay.

And also to sort up any confusion on what i am asking, I have put * * to indicate where the question I have asked is stated.

thank you.
