Yeah I kind of wish i had a higher up power band now, because now that i live in Manchester, basically all the power my car has just cant be used  :angry:

thankfully I don't get these issues  :whistle:

Have you done any handling modifications?

4-motion would be nice, I got my sights set 4motion, even with my suspension setup it's struggling to put the power down.

I was gonna ask if it was a 4motion, but then i thought maybe you were just saying that your car just didn't wheelspin in the wet, and that our cars had a problem :grin:

I don't think I'll get wheel spin off the line with haldex, I'm wondering whether it would spin up at the top end when the turbo comes alive. What I'm thinking is, it'll be a hell of a lot better than fwd and I've seen that the haldex system can be made permanent 4wd and more torque sent to the rear than oem - using an aftermarket haldex controller. It's all very appealing but does mean I have to go through the effort of buying another LSD for the 02m unless the Quaife diff from the 02j is compatible with the 5 speed 4wd gearbox.

mine will still spin for a split second on full power but it has a 4motion controller and when i change the setting it wont spin even on full throttle and with kw3 coilovers its like glue until you strip the tyres  :grin:

Do you not keep haldex in permanent 4wd mode all the time? I worry how reliable the haldex system would be when left permanently engaged on a big turbo setup

I run Avons on the fronts because of this issue, I need to get the power down gradually
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
