Finally got the replacement differential for my fd. Its a clutch-type diff off an s4 T2, alot stronger than the pos stock torsen that comes in the fd. I snapped mine like a twig shifting to 2nd gear when I went from a light on street tires. I was gonna go easy from the light, but Vosko HAD to try and race me I'll be installing it Friday at JR's shop so the car should be back on the road this weekend. Vosko

 

cool, i had no idea that TII diffs are better than Fd diffs, why didn't u save ur self some money and time and get a KAAZ unit? you probably gonna break that fc unit you got there eventually, especially you use drags or better tires.

 

i had no idea either. the vosko curse lives on JK

 

The FC units are very strong. I know several guys running consistant 11's on them launching hard on drag radials. The problem with the torsen is that there is nothing to absorb the shock from launching. If the load exceeds what the differential can hold, the little gears inside strip. The engagement of the clutches help soften this shock. Even at my cost, a Kaaz would have been close to $700. This one cost me a mere $190 shipped and it won't go klunk klunk klunk like the kaaz does. It should last me for a while. If it does break then I'll probably get a Kaaz.

 

cool, so are u still using the stock halfshafts? I heard the Kazz unit only clunks if you don't use their specific oil in it.

 

Yes for now. I'mn going to need axles in the future too. I hear mixed stories about the kaaz. If it was cheeper I would have gotten it now. That thing is almost bulletproof.

 

i want video next time u 2 pansies race

 

have fun installing it. i hope i never have to help do my diff again. what a pain to do. even on a lift !!!! you should ito is going to be installing the diff since he is the one that knows how to do it

 

ihor is scared now

 

ihor why did you put this in the single turbo section LMAO.... i'm moving this to running gear
