Yeah,�though Troy's point needs to be well taken about Quaife style (Peloquin being the biggest oldest ripoff of such) differentials.� They are torque biasing, but you still need traction with both wheels.� Not a lot, but some.� If one wheel is in the air, it ain't a locker and you won't move; you will with a full locker, you might even with a strong clutch pack limited slip, but not with a Quaife.� But for general purpose slick or high power low grip conditions, the one's I've had in FWD VWs have been very nice.
�
Now if the T2 market was only big enough to force price down like the FWD VW market was.� (When Peloquin first started making them, the price war drove Quaife and Peloquin down about $500 from where Quaife had been prior to the war.)

Anyone running one in the front differential�of a syncro BTW, I've wondered how handling would be, I assume it would fit in the�carrier fine?
