Title: If you have an uprated clutch/flywheel and a LSD too...
Post by: berg on March 04, 2011, 11:15:32 am: can you provide the name of the firm you went to and who I should speak to, and advise of any problems you had?

I want to get some quotes off all the VAG specialists who would be prepared to do the work. Have looked at BDM and JKM so far but as I live in Lancashire will also look at other people both North and South, and am not sure my two nearest VAG people will do the transmission work (pipewerx & awesome)

Thanks in anticipation :jumpmove:

Post by: berg on March 04, 2011, 03:24:31 pm: Thanks guys, Statlers and JBS are nearer to me than other people mentioned but i think i will speak to Jabba, VWR and anyone you recommend and make an informed decision.

Joe - re statlers do they not have a website?

Re - LSD's are the three main varaints Quaife, Peloquin and Wavetrac? And are one of these firms based in the UK whereas others in US (am just thinking of customer service issues a la Revo vs APR)

Dunno if you're DSG but I don't think that Wavetrac offer a DSG version. Peloquin is US based and Quaife UK. Wavetrac? - I don't think UK.

Post by: danishmkvgti on March 04, 2011, 07:29:01 pm: Wavetrac is associated with Autotech, so USA based :happy2:
