Just had the powerflex yellow insert fitted to mine. Does what it says on the tin... Not much else to say really, piece of cake to fit.
Sorry I know it doesn't answer the OP but don't these poly dog bone inserts mean the car rattles you to bits when you're sat inside?
I only have experience of a poly dog bone insert in a mk 4 golf anni diesel and it was awful!

Ive experienced that too!!!
I have the THS solid rubber one in mine along with revo upper engine mounts. The lower one doesn't make the cabin vibrate much more than standard but there is an increase in noise. When I put on my upper revo ones is when it made a massive difference to noise. You don't get much cabin vibration at all if any, but you do get a lot more engine/gearbox noise.
I think with the TFSI being a fairly smooth engine, poly bushes will be fine.
I went power flex fast road. (yellow)
It works - there is added vibration and I did wonder if I'd ruined it to begin with.
But I got used to it, gives the car a sense of rawness, but not so much your teeth are falling out. Just a wee vibration at slow parking speeds.

Yellow powerflex here. I replaced the big one and the small one. Small one was purple big one was yellow.
No - I used original one. Been there for what must be 2 years now and no problem.
However I can provide one if necessary....pm incoming.

I have also had the yellow lower powerflex bush put in place! Its hasnt made any difference what so ever to my car so imo, its been a waste of money and another nice to have rather than a performance mod!
I used a super pro purple insert fitted last week. Only the slightest vibration can be felt when the revs drop to 750-800 rpm with the climate control off and only through the steering wheel. Hardly noticeable the Mrs didn't pick up on it

Haven't noticed any extra cabin vibration, the yellow is the 'fast road' option so has a little more compliance but keeps things civilised. It just stops that engine shudder and makes gear changes a little easier when your pushing on.
I've for the full Revo mount kit in mine slight vibration and bit noise but when your out for a good blast all comes into play sounds awsum was a bit worried to begin with but they settle a bit
Thanks for all the reviews guys, think I'll stick with OEM when I change the one in my car

I used the yellow PowerFlex insert when I had my Pipewerx DP and decat fitted. No vibrations or rattles perfect for the job.
I had red powerflex insert fitted with milltek DP, mine is DSG n there is more vibrations in slow speeds, when parking n driving off, but nothing too bad... red one is for diesels so it's the softest one...
