I was wondering what would be the best place and way to mount an NRG Torque Damper on my 99 em1.

The best place to install it would be returning it, honestly. Unless you buy a high quality unit (NRG is definitely not high quality) they are unreliable, and unless you're running a modified engine in a track-use car, a waste.

If you're still insistent on getting your bay bling on, Google found this in 5 seconds.

I havent bought it hahah, i wasnt sure if the brand really mattered i mean I am not trying to buy no cheap ebay one but then again they do sell them on ebay. Im not looking to have the car EVER hit a track, its my daily driver im just tryna get as much as I can out of it.

Then honestly, don't waste your money on a torque damper. If you want (and actually understand) what a torque damper gives you, get the Ingalls unit. They actually do their own design and testing, and last I heard if something breaks, they'll replace it.

Alternatively, you could get polyurethane mounts/inserts for roughly the same effect.

Yeah well I understand the whole method behind it. seems people say that it feels better to have one you know, I was just wondering on where to mount one but if i do get one ill def go with ingalls.

Generally speaking, one bracket attaches to the passenger or driver side motor mount, and the other bracket attaches to the strut tower. The damper goes between the brackets.

I bought one of those about 5 years ago. It worked but the POS kept coming apart. Then I got a set of Hardrace motor mounts and torque mounts and the thing became useless.

There's only one place to mount those so I don't even know why you're asking as if you had options.

There is actually different places that people mount them from, ive seen on an em1 itself 3 different places.

You don't get to pick though. The hardware that comes with it will determine where it gets mounted.
