Does anyone know if there are any differences between the N/A autobox and the TT? I can't see anything in the manual but someone once said that the bell housings need to be swapped.

 

Thanks

there is a slight difference beetween the two im not sure what the difference is exactly but im told if you swap the bell housing it fits.

ill let u know next week when i try to fit mine

NA automatic gearbox can NOT be swapped with a TT box..

NA autobox is MUCH weaker then the TT box and completely different (internally)

 

NA manual gearbox is a different story and can be swapped with a few modifications.

only difference is the bellhousing.

Eric as far as N/A and TT swaps go,what is your view on fitting a N/A Diff on a TT?

I have put a NA diff. on one of my cars and love it...it's one of the better upgrades (IMO)

But you have to make a few sacrifices:

-you'll have to swap the complete NA subframe and propshaft, so no more HICAS

-the top speed becomes quite a bit less

 

The NA diff and especially propshaft is not as strong as the TT versions, so this can be a bit of a problem on really powerful cars.

how is 1st gear Eric? it can be pretty pointless on a TT at the best of times anyway, without lowering the final drive ratio!!

1st gear with a NA diff is even more pointless ;)

I have set my boostcontroller not to boost over 0.5 bar in 1st gear, which helps.

 

Starting in second gear is another option..
