With my heavy footedness I get torque steer at high speed. Yep, I know, drive a little more gently & It will be reduced, but then I won't be able to make the overtake as safely. What I have found though is that If I use manual & go down to 4th It is more impressive with the huge surge & push in the back, rather than the fierce kickdown when in auto. I look forward to feeling the difference when I get the LSD fitted & when REVO get round to a remap for the TSI DSG box.

You're very lucky or never press the LOUD pedal in anger. It usually happens to me on roads with any loose surface or if the road is damp in patches, when I go to overtake even if I am already doing over 40mph because there is so much torque. I am definately going to give the Quaife LSD a try.

It's a bit too far to get to Irlam when I can get the work done just 18 miles away. Shame, I moved from Irlam in 1958

Yes Mike, 2.0tsi. The following is what I was quoted locally. To supply and fit the Revo Technik KO4 turbo kit including, Revo Technik software upgrade, Milltek Sport turbo back resonated exhaust system, Revo edition THS front mount intercooler and Revo Technik 2.0 TSI intake would be £4799.00 including VAT, if you would rather have the enclosed ITG TSI induction kit we have in stock (the Revo intake is an open filter with a heat sheild) then this would be £108.80 less. Revo also recommend fitting their uprated engine, pendulum and transmission mounts, Revo Technik throttle pipe and Revo Technik PSV revamp, these would be an extra £685.00 inc VAT As discussed, we would remove the gearbox and send it to Quaife to have the LSD fitted at the same price JBS quoted (£400 +VAT?), Quaife quoted £790.00 + VAT for the LSD. The temptation is great, but I can't really justify the cost & I'm still not compleatly happy with high speed in a straight line :think:

HaHaHaHa :rofl: you're right there Mike. I was looking at going the whole K04 hog (with all the bits) but it will cost about K7 so I'm going to try the LSD, full intercooler & perhaps turbo back exhaust which should give me a bit more than the present 314 lb ft . Colin.

Thank you everyone for your input. Perhaps I should remove my deepsea divers boots & wear ballet shoes :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

Got White Line WALK front of wishbone & poly on rear of wishbone, Koni FSD & Eibach 20mm, rear 24mm ARB, 19in wheels with 235 section tyres, so more grip there. Falken tyres. In the two years I had the R36, not once did I get torque steer & I gave that car some welly, ie track day @ Cadwell park & many launch control trials. Motor was re-mapped to about 330 bhp & DSG re-mapped for faster changes & manual use.

A 4 w d is the answer. I had a Passat R36 for 2 years & nothing caused it problems except running cost

But won't the LSD stop the transfer from side to side?

What a pain torque steer is with my 2011 FL Octy VRS TSI. Can anyone tell me that a Quaif LSD does away with this problem?? It was so bad the other day, my wife said, "are you playing at little boy drivers, turning the steering wheel side to side"? Fortunately, she couldn't feel the front wheels sqirming around, trying to grip!!!

How strange, I must have stated a few times as I was heading downhill on the northern side of the pass, that it was the Austrian side. Thank you for putting me straight. I wonder how much longer people will be able to go to Germany to do the speeds their cars will go at. Imagine cruising at 150mph, it's fantastic. My top speed was governed by traffic.
