Why not get some RS4 engine mounts? I have them in my car and many others do as well.

Default Doing mine tonight. Word is: jack up car, put clip in service position,

pull turbo inlet pipes far enough towards the front of the car to access the top mount nuts, raise the engine slightly, support the subframe, remove the lower mount brackets and swap out the mounts.

Obviously a little more to it, but that seems to be the gist.

You should do a DIY and take pictures. That would be very helpful.
