Default Are Turbo & C2 engine mounts interchangeable?

After reading all the engine mount threads, I have decided not to wait and to do it.
So I have a 40th, and am considering either to go standard mounts or Turbo mounts (both are $91.50 from Pelican).

Are the Turbo mounts stiffer?, are they worth it for a street car that will do 2-3 DE’s a year?

Any experience/feedback appreciated

There is no C2 or Turbo mount from Pelican, even though they show different part numbers and that they are Cortecos. What you will get, if you order from them is the same Reins mount, so of course the Rein number does not match either Corteco number. According to Pelican, only one type is made, and it is to the "Turbo" spec. They just don't see the need to update their website order page. To answer your question, there is no "stiffness" increase, or any harshness or NVH increase, only a decrease due to the correct dampening of the motor vibrations. Besides making your own, they are the least expensive quality unit out there, that I could find.
