All signs point to yes.
I have a 98.5 1.8T, when I installed mine I got crazy vibration through the steering wheel. I tried letting the car idle for a few mins with the snub mount "basket" semi loose to let it center itself. Helped a bit but I ended sanding down the inside of the basket so that the snub mount had a bit of play and not fit size for size. That minimized the vibrations.

What colour did you put in?.. could be the wrong one...
... when I first put mine in, there was some vibrations in the cabin. Give the car a week or so of driving for it to settle. Its good now.

The APR Blue and Black snubs tend to fit a little tight at first
Give it some time to 'pancake' out slightly.
Thing to keep in mind too is new mount and cold weather do not mix to well up here.
It should get better with a little time.
Please note: this is all provided your tech/or you, did install it centered in the first place. If not, she'll never feel right.
Cheers
