TRANSMISSION
VF-Engineering Transmission Mount - http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/VF_Engineering_Engine_Mounts/VF_Engineering_Polyurethane_Transmission_Mount.html(0)
O2J 5 Speed Transmission (broke in Feb 06) - driving back from VA and HUGE bang and smoke. Pulled over to find the spider gears blew about 8 holes around the casing. - http://www.performance-cafe.com/product_info.php?cPath=9_215&products_id=1424(0)
Peloquin LSD (Limited Slip Differential) - makes the 2 front tires act as one, normally when you lift a car off the ground and spin one tire, the other turns in the opposite direction. The LSD makes it so they both turn in the same direction. So when you do a burn out or take corners real hard, both tires are spinning. TONS of traction. - http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/Limited_Slip_Differentials/Peloquin_Limited_Slip_Differential___02A.html(0)
