Scrap the whole idea mate and get a front mount fitted.
Upgrading the top mount is like trying to make your fridge cooler by blowing on it.

Either get a plate made, or get it welded up my a local fabrication shop. some STI top mounts are good for 400 BHP, I'd stick with the top mount

fridge cooler by blowing on it ...

With inlet temps quite often reaching 65 degrees plus, i'm ditching my top mount as soon as I can!
