I checked a couple of saab engine mounts, and they were priced at over $100 I check the mounts for golf/jetta 2.0 litter manual circa , 1998, they where only about $50 each, It would make "simple" sense to a green guy like me that the hyrdo mounts for a jetta 2.0 might well be tuned for the 2.0 liter in the ticco kit. They also look as "mountable" as any. >> As mountable ... do proceed! The issue is the diameter of the mount. The VW Jetta/Golf version is (my opinion) too large to fit. I tried the VW, Audi (5000T), Mercedes (190), Volvo (740), and the SAAB for fitment. I liked the SAAB because it was smaller and closer to the size I needed, supported a 2.0 to 2.3L thumper and a hot turbo to boot. Now the Toyota Camry is a long, slender, pricey unit I haven't tried. Be my guest. As to costs, my partsbin scan shows $77 for the SAAB, $62 for the VW, $47 for the Audi, $81 for the Merc, $62 for the Volvo and $132 for the Toyota, and 216 for the Honda. I'd say that all the Euro's are the same. BTW, I paid $57 each for the OEM units from a SAAB house. You can also contact Lord's. Frank Grunthaner
