This.



For a VLSD install, you need the diff and a half shaft from a VLSD model....forget which side though.



Edit: re read your post, realized you were talking swapping pumpkins...very easy, may be worth it. Still recommend a real LSD though.

Just get a real one, like the Quaife LCD and you won't need to modify anything. You only need to get the stub shaft assembly if you go with factory VLSD.

Quaife Differential
Whoa!! Quaife makes an LCD diff

they are right though. it with cost u a little more but the VLSD is not as effective as an aftermarket LSD. I believe it uses fluid pressure (viscious) to distribute power and is not comparable to a clutch type LSD. up to you OP, you could try it out and see if it suits you and if not just sell it and get an aftermarket LSD.

blue pill or red pill... the choice....is yours....
