Hello! New here, I have a mk1 20vT running around 210bhp. It's using a std 02a Gearbox. I'm looking to solve a few traction problems (Lol) and think the Diff is the way to go. I'm very aware of Quaiffe (Also read a few disgruntled comments made about their customer service??) and I have seen people mention Peloquin from the states. Now I'd like to know who in the UK (or otherwise if available cheaper) supplies these? I'd also be looking for it to be fitted and rebuild the Box ( maybe with a higher ratio, as at the moment it sit's just below 3k rpm doing 70 in 5th which is a pain if on the motorway for long streches!) I'm from the South Wales area and have been told there's a few guy's on here from not too far who maybe able to help? Thanks
you want to go see Hotgolf, see the entrepreneur section. Quaiffe...... very good but then you'd expect that for the price you pay for one of those. Peloquin are good but tricky to get hold of in the UK. specially with the dollar conversion.
I have a Quaife LSD in my mk2 20v golf running 300bhp/ mk4 gti box and its perfect on the road when being pushed hard.
I got an 80% kit direct from Gary Peloquin, very helpful. Paid with Google checkout and the kit was hear in two weeks. G werks may do them in the UK now though. I had never done anything to a gearbox before but just took my time and used Broke's site as a guide. http://www.brokevw.com/index.htm peloquins@earthlink.net Hope this helps
Thanks for the replies! I'll get onto Hotgolf and see if he can help. Interesting Link there Tron...Explained a lot to me!
i saw them advertised in either pvw or golf+ its on my list, just trying to save up for it hoping to get one in by the end of the year!
Sounds good in theory, and not badly priced either. It would be interesting to find out if anybody is running this diff and their thoughts?
nice one I wonder how much better they are than Quaife.... You pay a little more for the Wavetrac, but they do sound/appear to be better.
Did you read that thread right through? Also regarding Quaife i haven't heard of one going pop on here.
Thanks for the link Mike! Damn I'm tempted to get my name on that list, but my missus would see otherwise right now! Lol. I need to read through that Vwvortex link too, is it bad news for the Wavetrac??
