i promise im not chasing you across the forum Im just browsing through some of the threads.

There are a few things that you can do to decrease axle tramp. Obviously depending on your budget.

A cheap, simple mod is the torque arm insert. Whilst it wont eliminate the tramp most people do report a reasonable reduction. Down side to the mod is you may get a very slight high frequency vibration when the car is in reverse or when the clutch is held at its friction point. Its really not something that bothers most people.
Dub Addiction have a shipment of the BFI ones coming through customs at the moment. Should be available before the end of the week and is the cheapest one available on the market in Australia.

Stiffening up your suspension helps a lot with axle tramp but obviously at a reasonable expense.

If you really have money burning a hole in your pocket then you can fit an LSD. But it will most likely cost close to $3000 including fitting!

Happy to be chased if it's advice you're handing out. I've read your site and see you've got the thingermy you've described. That's as far as I'd go cost-wise as this is my daily and I have another fearsome moneypit where the big $$ get spent. Can't have 2 now can I. I'll be in touch and get you to talk me through the thingermy.

+1 for the torque arm insert

I've found it very effective in my Stg2 GTI and fantastic value for money
