Hi guy.
I have made up a cool mod for the RS3 8V and TTRS mk3.
We opened up a Stock Haldex 5 rear diff, and made messurments to see if the conversion with Wavetrac LSD was possible.

Here is the results. What do you think?

Very nice, what is the cost if the conversion and I guess a Haldex controller is required to get the best out of it?

More oversteer car!
Better grip overall and corners in high speed...

The cost is probably around £3500 depending on the cost of a used unit and shipping cost depending on where you live.

I am actually selling a unit that is brand new unused for £3000 if someone is interested.

An controller is great also. But not necessarily from start... I am ordering one from "Haldex Controller" It's from Austria I think.

@A3SBQ hello! I joined this forum just to ask you about this. Would you consider doing it again? I am interested.

That is awesome. Look forward to hearing about the handling when it's all fitted back in again. With the haldex controller I assume it will send 50% to the back, just more of the time? :)

I have ******** my rear diff and looking to upgrade it to the wavetrac one. I know they sell one now but I was wondering if you could give me some advice about this and the process as I think you're the expert on this subject
