Wow, it looks like there hasn't been a lot of experience with the Quaife LSD. Maybe I could prompt a reply to my other concerns; wheelspin and/or torque steer.
I had a Ford SHO several years ago. It was the second or third year they were available; it still only came with the 5 speed stick. Torque steer was BRUTAL on that car. Any launch from a standing start was sure to result in smoked tires and/or a struggle to maintain a straight line. Not conducive to hard cornering at lower speeds (less than 50 mph) either.
I'm going into the GTI with the intention of modifying it extensively. CAI, intercooer upgrade, chip and turbo back at the minimum. As I understand it, I should be getting 240-250 hp and torque numbers in the high 200's. Is wheelspin going to be a big problem? Is torque steer going to be a major issue? Seems like it will be, so I'm willing to throw money at the Quaife solution. I was hoping someone here would have some input as to whether or not I should be concerned.
Just to be clear, I'm getting the DSG. I understand launch control is included. Does that make my issue moot? I've read posts here that are real positive about LC, but it seems like a LSD would still be useful.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Best Regards
