i'm curious what the stock one is (clutch? torsen?) and i assume mfactory's is a clutchIf you are interested in the Rear Diff, please PM MFactory directly with how many you would want. I know we are close to the number need to do the group buy.

well damn. we don't have a center diff, and front is lsd correct?Factory is open, mfactory would be torsen
well damn. we don't have a center diff, and front is lsd correct?
what's the cost on these mfactory diffs? and there should be some period of testing and tweaking and such, idk if i want to take that risk on a race car, even if the rear is open. this should be the same thing as for the tts correct?
Tts will be the same, oem front is open also. No center diff, haldex is a clutch system that allows some slip to be able to corner. Mfactory is reputable so I wouldnt worry
Front I have a wavetrac as they are the only easy to get dq500 diff in the states at the moment.
This project is long dead. There's a shop in Austria that does conversions of Mk4 Wavetracs into later housings, it costs close to $6000 to get one to the US. There's also a guy on vortex who did it, but I'm not sure if he's doing it for other people or he just did it to see if he could.so is this project coming through? If so, I am in!! I would appreciate to have a functional LSD in my MK6 R.
Too bad this couldn’t have been revived. I ran an MFactory on myOK, I was mistaken - it costs €3916.66 ($4655) to get one shipped to the US, including a €750 core charge.
I’m in for results.As I sort of alluded to in my last post, I got the one from Power Zone (I needed a new diff anyway, so the cost difference was considerably less for me). You can either send them your diff to rebuild, which has a ~12 week lead time from the time they receive yours, or you can pay them a core charge and have them send you a rebuilt unit; I took the latter option. I ordered it on September 8, and it arrived on November 15, so it was a little better than their quoted time.
The guys there are great to deal with, very helpful and willing to answer any questions. I won't know the quality of their work until it's in the car and running, but it spins freely by hand, so I have some faith. The car is currently in the shop getting it installed, I'll report back after it's done.
I might have missed it, but do you have a link to that Austrian shop?This project is long dead.

Thank you! How did your install go? Any driving impressions?
