Solid is really extreme for your driving characteristics, I don't think you're going to like it. The cabin noise will go way up. You'll have to experience it for yourself, and you'll probably be able to live with it for a while, but then you'll yearn for the days when the transmission wasn't constantly yelling at you about everything it was doing. Here's what you should have considered:
1) Filling your old transmission mount with polyurethane. Cheap, and an easy DIY from what I've read.
2) Lindsey Ultimate Trans Mount - like a solid mount, but with some rubber to dampen some of the noise. Even this is too noisy for me, but I track my car really hard, with slicks, so I need it.
Keep the original trans mount, clean it up, and go ahead with the DIY to fill it with polyurethane and have it ready for when you get sick of the solid mount. Search for threads on this and you can find some good writeups with specifics for what and where to order (the polyurethane).

I have the Lindsey "ultra" mount and I was surprised at the amount of increased noise and vibration that came through the car when I installed it.
To compensate I added CEP motor mounts. Now the whole thing buzzes. F it.

Never say never, so im driving and sudenly my antilock lamp goes on, and voltage drops to 12v and i lose powersteering, it obvious i lost my accesories belts, but why did my a/f ratios improved?? Before it was showing 10.2-10.5 at 18psi now its steady 11.1-11.4 ?
The reason my belts snapped was that my a/c compressor broke its mounting point and got lose,
So clearly thats something connected to my carrier mount which broke in half and was at the same side

The AFRs changed because the supply voltage dropped by about 2V, changing all the sensor readings.
As for the AC compressor, its a common failure point... but, its a lot more prone to happening if the balance shaft belts are out of alignment. Do you get a lot of shifter vibration around 3000 rpm?

Found the last boost leak! Atleast i think so, it was hiding in intake intercoolerpipe hardpipe, it had grinded a small hole in it, enough to see it with a flashlight but not noticable with eye, so my afr raised to 10.4 10.8 at 18psi

Few days ago did a smoke test on the intake system, found one minor leak fixed it, but still was in low 10 afr ratios, so acter thinking i came to conlusion that my afm was tinkered with so it wouldnt lean out with big turbo and high boost, but since im runing a k26/6 at 18psi i always ran rich, so i tightened the afm spring plate by 2teeth, and now im at 11.5-11.8 afr ratios which still not perfect but much better, and car pulls much harder too, tried to tighten it more but then it was afecting my idle and cruising afr ratios before o2 sensor kicks in. So i think 2 teeth is a "safe zone"
And on the aditional note, my lower balance shaft rear seal is lose and leakin oil.. but im not ready yet to take the engine out lol. So i just put the o ring around it and used the high tem resistant silicone sealer.
