Where did you buy the LSD from?, how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?.
 
i got it from jabbasport through my local garage GI Motorsport as they are a vendor for jabbasport maps

but because i bought a sachs race clutch, jabbasport single mass flywheel, quaife ATB diff, slave cylinder and master cylinder i got some money off

think i managed to get the quaife diff for about £500 + VAT (thats at the old rate of 15%)

*UPDATE*

Well after fitting my WOT BOX my engine threw a wobbly, it decided to bend the conrods:(

So i'm off the road atm, while the car is at Midland VW awaiting the engine rebuild.

Some goodies that arrived today:

I want to uprate my rods and I'm not even running/going to be getting a wot box at all.

True they could have but the car was running fine, I bought it with it remapped so has been running that amount of power for at least the 3 years I've had it. I literally WOT shifted 6 times and I bent the rods.

Don't get me wrong it's a wicked bit of kit BUT imo I think it needs to be used with caution AND with uprated internals.
 
yikes man... bad news about the rods

another reason why i'm slowly picking up bits and pieces right now so i have a fully rebuilt bottom end with uprated rods just to swap over. especially if i'm approaching 300bhp and over 300lbsft of torque after i've got my FMIC installed and got my hands on a badger5 3" TIP before my upgrade to stage2
