[s-cars] Installing Torsen diffs and disabling EDL on a 95.5 S6.

[Mark Strangways]

The EDL / TCS system on my jeep is pretty interesting.
If you are in 4 x 4 mode in snow or mud, the TCS system can actually 
completely f*** up your life so bad you don't even make it through what ever 
terrain you are crossing. I have had the TCS back off my throttle so bad 
that the truck did not even make it up a modest incline hill. Yes the diesel 
motor does have a ton of torque, but I just can't imagine how that TCS code 
made it into production.
Luckily there is a button to KILL the TCS, while still ensuring the EDL 
remains active.
I find it interesting that due to the EDL I burned through a set of rear 
pads in about 60,000 KM. Front pads still 1/2 life on them.
