x2 on installing new LSD. When I had my LSD installed, even my shop has to take the extra day to assemble the set of special tools.

Done more than my fair share of those. A big press helps immensely. So does a BFH, a good air chisel, and loads of patience. My car got aluminum subframe bushings. Big mistake. That involved cutting and welding...

Larry: I believe your AWD TT already has 3 diffs?

I have a Guard diff. ASG did the install. The Guard require "updating" the G96 flanges to G50 flanges , which added to the complication of the install.

It works very well. It did take me a few event to take advantage of it.

There is no LSD in the turbo unless special ordered from the factory.

I bought an OS Giken LSD from Steve Weiner at Rennsport. Price increased immediately after I bought it (very atypical for me - I usually get the first one at the higher price...). I paid $1800.

I was planning on having it installed by Charlie Murphy but it turns out Hoophead has both the special tools and knowledge about installing them.

Still waiting for OldTee (whom I know is doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and Dorkiphus) to post a couple of the transmission tear-down photos.
