It depends if you have a manual or a DSG.

For a manual there are Peloquin, Autotech's trick wavetrack diff and of course Quaife

For DSG you are limited to Quaife.

I managed to bag my diff from an independant dealer for just over £800 and then fitting will be on top (Aprrox £500)

For a manual diff you can knock a good £200 off the total for buying and fitting. :smiley:

im not jealous at all hurdy!  :tongue:  after the exhaust its the biggest spend really, but worth it i think, especially after driving cars with diffs it sticks much more when you give it beans round a corner :thumb: you can get a VWR DSG diff fully fitted for 1450 at their HQ, ive been thinking about it but cant afford it lol.  :sad:

Yup, I thought about going to VWR, but 120+ miles each way as opposed to less than 5 miles each way made my mind up for me :grin:
