There are many reasons to upgrade your OEM differential to a Peloquin torsen limited slip unit. These units will eliminate "one wheel peels" by biasing the power to the wheel with traction, rather then the one without. In a straight line, this means providing power to both wheels, rather then just whichever one breaks loose first. In a turning situation, the Peloquin Torsen differential will bias the power towards the outside wheel which has more grip, eliminating that pesky, and slow, spinning inside tire. These major traction advantages will result in a much much faster street car. Reliability is also an issue. VW Differentials, and the rivets they are held to the ring gear with, have been infamous for ages. If you run it totally stock, the rivets shear off, the ring gear then smashes a hole in your case. Swapping the rivets will work for some people- we do carry the ARP replacements, but for people making truely big power, the actual OEM differential is the next thing to fail, also usually resulting in a hole in the transmission case. For true reliability in a big horsepower situation there is no better solution then to upgrade the entire assembly to a Peloquin differential, comes with transferable lifetime warantee.
