It's a must have like everyone said. :smiley:
pudding:
Good stuff. I am still undecided whether to continue with the hassles of the manual gearbox, or switch to DSG, but either way an LSD will feature in the build :smiley:
Just need to decide if I go plate diff (gripper) or torque biasing (Wavetrac, quaife, peloquins, your diff etc).
From what I've read, plate diffs can massively increase understeer, so you have to drive them differently.

From what I read plate diffs are the business but they're too noisy, need maintenance and aren't good for daily driving and daily car manoeuvres.
If you have the funds retrofitting a DSG will make it faster to deal with when you push the engine hard. And I remember you still haven't fitted the TTE420. You don't need to extract all of its potential to have fun. You'll probably make 400 BHP with low boost and it won't have the surge like the K04 has. :wink:
As I said, I chose my diff because it cost me less than €900 (MSRP would be +€200). The Quaife and the Peloquin, which I don't think are different, would be more expensive. The Wavetrac for DSG would cost around €1500, and I'm not sure if I'd notice any difference with my driving skills. I'm just an enthusiast driver. :smiley:
pudding:
Gripper do a road version of their diff which is supposed to be quieter and less aggressive, but it's still not maintenance free and won't be as smooth/quiet as your diff.
Yep, TTE420 still to do and now DSG. It's going to be an expensive year :doh: :grin: I am thinking exactly that - medium boost for 380-400hp, rather than flat out and risk breaking a piston :happy2: But it will have a much fatter torque curve than the stock KO4 :smiley:
What is next for your white beast? :laugh:

You can always fit the TTE420 while you save for the DSG... :innocent:
Soon, I'll share the news when I have them. :wink: Still waiting for Reyland Motorsport to respond to my enquiry about the 2 piece discs... :thinking:
