Thanks Scott,

 

Does this also work in the 95.5 that is missing the locking center diff?

The Audi v8 5/6speed cars came from the factory with a Torsen Center/Torsen
Rear.  IMO, the best S car setup you can get -- given a torsen center.  For
install, it's a direct, and I mean direct - bolt in swap.  You take the rear
diff out of the S car, and you put the Torsen in.  All mounting bolts,
ebrake routing, subframe mounting, driveshaft/axles all bolt right up to the
torsen rear diff assembly as pulled from a v8, btdt many times.


The rear torsen subtly addresses many of the understeer oversteer issues the
open rear causes to the center torsen.  Very noticeable on a track, and much
more noticeable traction in the winter.

This is an interesting mod/upgrade. Are there any detailed descriptions of


 
costs/benefits or walkthroughs on how to do this?
