Those big spreader washers they tried before?
The problem is the bottom of the engine shuffles side to side when the cylinders fire, that's why the stock peugeot arm has a cylinderical bush at the rear and the rubber is at the top and bottom not front and rear - to allow that vibration side by side to be filtered out, whilst trying to restrain the engine front to rear.
The powerflex achieves the latter by almost completely eradicating the former - that's why they had splitting issues previously, all they've done now is spread it over more of the bush to stiffen it even further so the bush isn't getting twisted - with the result that the firing imbalance gets transmitted straight into the chassis - it's going to be even worse with the kind of power/torque pulses you'll be generating.
If you like it, you like it, but they've put no more thought into that mount than the previous problematic one.
