After the last 3 weekends of preparing my NA diff conversion on my TT which entailed removing my TT diff/subframe etc from the car and repainting the NA subframe. Also had to transfer the poly bushes for the diff but decided to retain the OEM main subframe bushes in favour of cutting dowm the noise transmitted into the cabin. I replaced the diff side and pinion seals while it was out and gave the diff a coat of black paint and also had a new centre bearing fitted to the prop shaft and a balance.
With the TT diff and I always found the car to have very "long" legs, perhaps due to 19" alloys and the lag on my GT675RS turbos found it to be a bit slow on the power delivery.
Finally today it was all fitted and ready for its first test run, don't have any specs as far as revs/speed etc but all I can say is the car is transformed, it pulls like a steam train in each gear and feels like this gearing is what it should always have had. It does not feel like the revs are too high or undergeared but I will reserve that after a test on the freeway drive after wheel alignment is done next week. At 0.8bar boost traction is lost in the first 2 gears so going to have to set up the Apexi boost control feature for each gear when I up boost to 1.2bar.

This is a good mod.
