A must for any race car, be it Street, Strip or Track!

Diamond Cut to exacting tolerances from Forged High-Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum Steel
Perfect fitment & finish ensures hassle-free installation & maintenance, each and every time

Covered by the MFactory Feel The Torque™ 30-Day Money Back Guarantee!

No-Load/One-Wheel Syndrome
A common misconception is that a Torsen-Style Differential is useless under a no-load situation (e.g One wheel in the air). This myth has been further perpetuated by our competitors of whom have limited understanding of how a Torsen-Style LSD functions. This no-load situation does not apply to 90% of users. For the other 10%, there is a simple solution to the problem that our competitors will not tell you; simply tap your brake pedal.

Manufacturing Process
- SAE9310 Bar Stock imported from Japan to ensure the purest steel grades
- All MFactory components are Forged. We do not use inferior Cast or Billet processes. Forged components are upto 30% stronger & tougher than the equivalent "Billet" component. Click here for further details
- Advanced material processing, heat treatment & finishing techniques offer superior strength, durability and quality
- Primary Heat Treatment: After the forged parts come off the press, they are Normalized and Annealed to relieve residual stresses and make them machine workable
- Machining: After the forged blanks are completed, we use Industry-leading Multi-Axis CNC and CAM equipment to machine the parts
- Secondary Heat Treatment: State-of-the-art Case Hardening procedure achieved via computer-controlled Gas Carburization and Quenching
- Double-Tempering: A superior heat treatment technique used to decrease the brittleness and increase the toughness of our parts
- Surface Grinding: Through the use of our state-of-the-art diamond grinding machines, we ensure all parts are smooth, precise and free of burrs
- Super Sub-Zero Processing: An advanced treatment technique whereby the parts are cryogenically hardened at -300°F, realigning the steels crystalline structure for maximum strength, then heat tempered again for a 3rd time to ensure maximum toughness (resistance to fracture)
- Micro-Peening: Our final treatment stage, the parts are subject to a high speed shot blast with our proprietary micro media, creating a super smooth surface

Has anybody installed one of these? Reviews? Installers in SoCal?
I see mentions of MrBikle, TMS and JanK having installed them. So that means they can go in. Bunnspeed posted some concerns over install that were probably minor and may no longer be an issue. Guess I may go this way.

Guessing is over, I ordered it. Reviews to follow. mFactory made me an offer (automated referral code) I could not refuse. 20% off!!!! did not expect that, went there to browse and had to order with that kind of discount, plus I need an LSD don't I?

Yeah, there was a minor clearance issue with the 6MT fitment last year, but this is no longer an issue :)

For installation, we are preparing our facility just now to accept VAG transmissions (Just now it's only BMW and Honda), but probably won't be ready till after the new year.

When you say accept, do you mean, install? If so can I be first or one of the first? I am in SoCal and can leave my car with you.

That was such a good deal I just had to order one.

We don't have the facility to work on the actual cars unfortunately (CA zone permits), only the transmissions/rear-ends. If you were to drop your transmission off once we're all setup, we can do the rebuild for you no problem at all. Still to work out pricing, but should probably be similar to our BMW and Honda rebuilds :)
