I'm not sure yet, but I think s4 being as its acting like it has worn out clutch packs. It still locks in rain or dirt. If it is s4 its probably partialy my fault. I am running normal gear lube with no LSD additive. :/

Well I think S5 doesn't use the additive (VLSD) being as it is a fluid coupling. I thought the whole car was bone stock :/, everything to this point as been bone stock... Besides the lube was a gray goo by the time I got the car. I had no idea that someone changed **** up till this problem...

Alright I confirmed that it is NOT a t2 diff, due to the number of ribs going front to back, the casting letters, flange size, and other information. There is a third rib that cant be seen in my pics, and the middle rib is too long to be the upper rib found on a T2 diff.
Also found from 3-4 sources the N/A ring gear is 7" for N/A 8" for turbo. after measuring the casing I can't see an 8" ring gear fitting in the housing either.
I found a thread on norotors that had significantly more information on the matter than I could find here. I dont usually like linking to other forums, but I figure its better than stealing someone elses work and posting it here.

Note that the OP on norotors failed to put decimal point in the measurements for the flanges. I confirmed it should be 88.0MM for the axle stubs not 880mm for N/A and I assume 90.5mm not 905 for turbo.

Also my diff started locking again on its own... It burns both tires every time when going straight...
Its just not being very reliable when drifting on pavement. It kinda just locks when it feel like it.
Its kinda pissing me off, seriously getting ready to just buy an open diff and weld it so it will at least be predictable. Me and some friends are renting an airstrip in about a month and I dont wanna be sitting there bored, or just getting plain mad over my diff not wanting to lock and ruining the fun.
