They modified my RS4 torsion from 2:1 to 4:1. And also if you check in ETKA you will find that the S4 torsen has the same P/N as the RS4 torsen. 01e 409 751 f
Spill the beans Dave, what did they replace to modify the B5 RS4 g/box and does this affect the ESP in any way?

Thanks guys for the info.
I have already made my decision as what to do.

What affect does the greater torsen ratio make in driving?
If the rear wheels are starting slip a greater amount of the available torque can be split to the front and vice versa. In real world driving where is that most likely to affect e.g. when the rear is stepping out it is easier to correct?

Cheers,
John

Not sure what difference you would notice on the road however a rear bias would be great for track work. Have you checked out the STASIS site?

MRC were planning to have a look at the rear biased TorSen that Stasis do. Not sure how far they got ?

High bias: http://www.stasisengineering.com/Catego ... =50&PID=98

Where is the rear biased diff on their site ?
