Peloquin Differentials
« on: January 24, 2012, 09:33:51 am »

Anybody have a peloquin diff in a manual Gti / S3 / Cupra? I have just bought one for fitting in the money put.
Common sense is telling me to wait until the clutch starts slipping and fit a new clutch and diff all at once. So may be a bit until I fit it. (Sachs kit / new oem DMF have 40k Miles @ stage 2+) no trackdays or launches

Do you know the model number?

How do you find driving differs, normal cornering / sprited driving?

Are you happy with the improvement?

Be interested to hear people's opinions  :popcornsoda:

When I had the diff done I got clutch slip but I had stock pressure plate and paddle clutch disc as suddenly the car had all this grip. Vwr popped the gearbox out and put a full clutch kit in and it's not slipped ever again

stop being gay and just get it fitted  :P. 

You can delay the onset of clutch slip by changing down gears before you accelerate instead of leaving it in 4th and letting the torque pull you through.  That is what kills clutches.

Plus you already have a sachs clutch, which will handle alot more than the OEM clutch anyway, plus you dont exactly use the car to its full potential all the time to warrant the extra work IMO.  I reckon you will be fine with you current setup and the LSD.

Can't comment on the ATB effect on a MK5 / Leon chassis, but the effect of putting one in a 02A gearbox fitted to a 270bhp 1.8t in a Mk2 / Corrado is really really good. In terms of track ability / fast road driving it was the best mod made. I'd imagine you'll wonder why you didn't fit it earlier once you've experienced the difference.

You'll probably find the torque vectoring effect of the diff' will encourage you to grip the steering wheel more tightly on broken surfaces.

A diff should be the first mod before a map imo.  One of the best most noticeable mods available.

They take a while to get used to, but once you work out when and how the power needs to be delivered to get the diff to do its job it an amazing feeling.

my only experience of a LSD was in a fellas Civic Type R rally car, It was very noisey/juddery and would ruin the daily drive of a normal car, is this the case with these Diffs? or is it because his was a more hardcore version
