Can you pls make a vid on why the REAR Golf R Wavetrac is effective. The rear end of a Golf R via Haldex is pretty benign, and i can't visualise what it would do in practice.Thank you.
First hand experience with that very diff on the mk7 R. It's not going to fix the programming and mechanical capabilities of haldex. At best it's still a 50/50 split, but on power the car is far more engaging. A healthy blip of throttle in a low gear with some steering applied and it will kick the rear out without issue (low grip). On power around an on-ramp will push far less than it tries to rotate. Grip vs. slip is more consistent. Looking forward to comparing next year's track times.
So on a 2018 Audi TTRS, is it more beneficial to only change the rear diff, or should the front be done as well? What will be the different driving qualities with each setup?
On this platform, the front differential would be the most beneficial to upgrade first, for several reasons including: unequal driveshafts, sending drive forward first, limited drive going back and much more!
Yes! You can use this for drifting If you are talking about professional drifting, then a plate LSD would be more appropriate but then you have to accept increased NVH (noise, vibration, harshness), increased downtime due to rebuild, and associated costs.

@@moshuapit3722 Thank you.
Thanks for your insight!
Wow I was just looking at your other videos about the wavetrac lsd
Perfect timing, haha!
@@RegalAutosport you are not kidding. My clutch is slipping so I might as well add one of these while I’m at it

Any experiences on a daily driver in snow/ice winter conditions?
Yeah! We had a Wavetrac LSD in our MK7 R on AR-1 in the snow and it works really well
can you still drift with it or it will try to correct you?
Yes! You can use this for drifting

so is this helical LSD but with some enhancements?
It's a helical LSD, with a patented design that allows it to outperform all other helical LSDs
Can it be installed on G20 BMWs? Specifically on a 330e. I did Stage 1, and I get quite a bit of wheel-spin.
It sure can! For information, you can contact a Performance Specialist here: regalautosport.com/contact-us
What power do the small case bmw wavetracs hold?
I have had 300bhp on a Wavetrac small case. The CWP is weaker than the diff
@@garagemidnight thanks!
much more than the surrounding parts can handle! The same size of gears and pinions on 1000WHP+ drag cars without any issue
@@RegalAutosport that is impressive!
