Title: Mk5 4wd daily project start
Post by: Vecridorm on October 17, 2024, 09:18:53 pm
Apart from the obvious remap what other mods have people done I want to wire in an aux, I have a gen 2 haldex and have read this one is a 95/5 split but can transfer up to 90 to rear, not sure how true this is but it will not wheelspin, thinking of reviving an old project I was going to do with a gt170 but this time I can plant the power down if it’s all manageable. Hybrid turbo recommendations appreciated im not after maxxx bhp as we all know torque is king, the plan was to keep the car unmolested but we all have the itch to gain power.

Gen 2 Haldex can only deliver 50% to rear wheels max, and it won't like doing that for long as it overheats the clutchpacks.  If you want more torque to the rear you need the Borg warner rear diff off the MK8 R.
