What are you planning on running power wise?

i dont think audi ment to use the diff like this ( the total broken v8 diff).....
if you go dragrace; some parts may be broken the tire may be worn out,so on.

Was planning on running 450 bhp and as much torque as pos. but after reading the above thread I think i might keep the standard diff..

I think that tom went back to the standard diff iirc.

i'm considering it for my CQ however, power and torque won't be a problem, and should make the car a lot more fun

Question is finding a diff at the right price really.... or justifying the cost to myself :mischeif:

I've yet to fit mine - I think the V8 rear diff (a torsen unit) will be OK on stock and mildy upgraded cars, but for a monster torque machine doing the drag strips then a lockable rear is better.

I don't want to destroy my S2 rear diff for fitting V8 internals - am looking for a CQ20V unit to use as the host.

Can actually the whole V8 unit be bolted on?
I have a couple of them in the garage.

wanna sell one? :mischeif:

[Dirtylouie]

yeah, no problem =) The price is only Eur 100 here, but you'll have to carry it as a hand luggage on the way back =)

[Error404]

ahha - i take it you don't want to ship it here?

[Dirtylouie]

sorry pal, but it's still hell of a problem to ship anything to and from here =(
suggest that you try latvia or estonia shrots - they have plenty of this stuff.
