Do the hard mounts make a difference for the engine? As in does the lesser dampening cause more wear or is it of no consequence?Finally got the car back

Everything fits under the bonnet
A little more NVH from the Tuff Mounts, but nothing that annoys me, and it is really only noticeable at idle
New Walbro intank pump only, but the tank, lines, injectors and wiring harness was all cleaned and/or replaced
Driving home, with the cabin aircon on, the IAT was at 40°c, before, on a hwy run, it sat on 50°c, typical traffic temps were 50-55°c
When I got stuck in slow traffic for about 5 km the IAT was still at 40°c, before that it would have been at 70°c stuck in traffic
After shutting down the car for about 1/2 hour the IAT was at 65°c on start up, it took less than 5 minutes to bring it back down to 40°c
I'm curious about how it will go when I press the blue switch, which isolates the cabin aircon and sends to the chiller only
Dyno thingie because internets
I've also got some Toyo R888R 275/40 17 to fit up, because the 255/40 17 RS4 fail miserably when giving it some beens, both from the dig as well as rolling on from 60kph
Will hit WSID soon, Spiro from Autotech said it just needs drag radials for a high 10, he laughed when I said I was putting on 275 R888R's to replace the RS4's, he said they won't hold and I need "real" drag radials in 275/40 17
Meh, tax time is coming up, and that is like free money
Also once off idle, is there not too much difference? Have I got that right?
Also good to hear you finally have the clearance sorted. Well done.
