....Around £1,280 including installation and vat from VWR and about £1,500 for the DSG version. As I posted before, VWR were about £30 more than anyone else but have more experience.
Mark at VWR/RacingLine can tell you more:

I did not see it in the current broucher i have so im guessing GTI only.

Thanks for the writeup Red. As you know this has been on my list of "stuff to do" forever - I was actually planning on getting it done at Quaife itself, but might do so at VWR now if they're amenable to doing other people's cars.
Won't be for awhile though, that list is long and neverending :P
IIRC the Porshce 911 Turbo (997) has an e-diff setup, and the F430/599GTB also have an e-diff. Mechanical diffs, for the record, are reactive, whereas electronic diffs can be predictive (and more precise in their application of power at the same time).
I do R&D with hybrid/electric vehicles as some of you know... we have a 2.5 tonne softly-sprung vehicle using our own equivalent of an electronic diff and it can hold onto corners better than my GTI :P

....But isn't 'predictive' where the problem potentially is? - In the same way that the GTI's ESP thinks for you and can cut power when you don't want it to.
I find the Quaife diff so fast in its reaction that I don't see it as a negative.

Heh, that's just a software issue... it will be resolved in time as we develop new (and smarter) algorithms, use more sensors and throw more processing power at it.
