ghettoVR 0 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi, I own a mk II Vr 2.8. Its going in for a turbo conversion pretty soon and i want to know how to deal with the traction. It will be running 350 bhp , 438 torque.I do not want LSD.I'm running 8 x 16 all round. What can you do to aid traction apart from LSD 4WD.Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Nothing really apart from very good throttle control.........or launch control actually Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 how do you know what torque your going to get?? 350 bhp is around 12-15psi depending on spec..what you got planned??i run a open dif fon mine, no probs at all, you may want to limit boost in first and second to stop things exploding Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 you can get cheap OBX diffs from the states, they just need the spring washers replacing and then the bolts all torqued up in sequence and they are spot on for about £250 Link to post Share on other sites
