LSD in a Mk3...

[Jon_Vr6]

Dont the Vr6's come standard with an electronic diff lock?

Yes, in that you won't spin up the inside wheel on tight turns and it'll make your arms ache as they fight you, to straighten up when you have your foot down.

VRs often have EDL, which is like it says electronic and IIRC is only a help when you set off from a stand still with one wheel one the loose, it stops working above about 20kmh.

The added expense of an LSD is the main thing that stops me from going forced induction. With that extra power I think you'd have to use an LSD, after paying for the FI don't think I can justify the extra cash When I worked out Vortech plus LSD plus install plus bits n pieces not much change from 10k

The only thing with a torque biasing diff is dont lift your foot if your up on 2 wheels as the diff will unwind giving u no forward motion and the back end coming round on ya

and what's wrong with that???

I've always heard, that all up, you're looking at about 2K+ once it's all done. I wouldn't worry about one till you are runnig major power, ie 20VT or VR6T or something like that.

I think making the most of what's there to begin with is a really good idea, and an LSD is part of that.

[DubSteve]

I have looked into this and I can say that I can't justify it at the moment as its $2000 to supply and fit

However with the US dollar being at what it is at the moment then I guess thats quite good, I know that ECS usually do them pretty cheaply.

[Jarred]

Well if you can Find a spare G, I'd say go for it now, while the US dollar is doing bad, and save up to get it installed later on.

Are the available diffs 1.5 way or 2 way or Torsen or what exactly are they?
