Don't even touch that OBX junk. Spend the money and get a correct LSD. Cusco, Quiafe

If you seriously on a budget then get the TypeR lsd and call it a day. OBX is junk because it's cheap chinese made crap that either works or it doesn't. It's cheap quality crap and i wouldn't want a cheap quality part especially in a transmission.

Doesn't anyone know how to wait before bumping a thread anymore? Seriously, give it time.

If the car is a daily driver, get an OEM DC5 ITR LSD or a Quaife. Period.

I'd just get ITR LSD. If it's solid enough for the 220 hp k20a, it's solid enough for your a3. It's also like half the price of a Quaife.

Dont be so quick to discount the OBX because its "cheap". many members on ephatch have them and have had no problem with them. The key is getting it,dissasembling it, and making sure everything is right and tight. thats just my opinion, i wouldnt go out and shell out the dough when you can put a little effort into another unit and save mucho dinero

If it requires me to make sure everything is right and tight and to make sure that the manufacturer put it together correctly then that tells me the quality of it. I'll spend the extra money on quality items. Sorry just my thoughts. Quality &gt; Price. As the saying goes, "You get what you paid for"
