Default Acceptable amount of engine movement? (Cool turbo video inside)

This is the turbo view of the TT FC dyno-car has poly engine and trans mounts. I am thinking of making a trq dampener for it after seeing this video. Do you guys think this is too much or an acceptable amount of engine movement?

I try to stay away from solid mounts in street cars as to not rattle the car to death! I will look into building a trq dampener first and go from there

I have some pics here-

I've had mine bolted in solid for over 10 years.

Really...unless it's a terrible engine build or tuning...you would barely notice.

Thanks for everyone's opinions. I will keep rocking it as-is for now and will be working on solid mounts over the winter.
