I've had it on the car for 3 years now, rate it highly and helps me get the power to the road. I do have a bit of torque steer in straight line, but not that it bothers me  :happy2:

yup got one too, defo helps get power down when pulling out of junctions and powering through corners, cant say is better than a quaife as no experience of them.

i dont think it really matters whether you go wavetrac/quaife/peloquin they all do their job  :happy2:

Had a Wavetrac in my MK6 Stage 3+ GTI. I loved it. The most noticeable difference was getting mroe power down in turns... and that's no easy task when you're pushing 450bhp at the front wheels :P

Wavetrac for me too but unfortunately I can't compare it to any others as never driven with the other brands.

Love the way the Wavetrac transformed my car though, way more drive out of corners.

Wavetrac dont list the DSG diff on their website.

Just chuck a Peloquins high torque version in there.  Its around a 10 hour job start to finish ready to drive away.  Plus the 8 litres of DSG oil!

If you go Quaife or if Wavetrac do the DSG version then you will need new bearings at £130 extra.  The bearings are not available through VW either and you cant use the bearing numbers directly off the bearings!

I will drop Wavetrac an email and find out if they do one.

I've got a Quaife in my DSG been fine for two years now, fitted one to Hurdys years ago too,  I've managed to re-use the bearings on the DSG's we've done so far, got to be careful popping em off though ! they were all low mile cars so no wear
I'd say after driving them it's hard to choose which is best, up to now we've had no problems with Quaife or wavetrac not tried the others yet suppose everyone has their own fayv
Weve done a wavetrac today on a manual very easy job compared to a DSG! All good though

Blimey. Who's trying to scare you  :signLOL:

You'd be use to it in no time and wonder why you didn't fit one sooner.
