Wavetrac Front LSD Differential - Audi RS3 (8V) / TTRS (8S) - DQ500 Transmission
The Wavetrac front limited-slip differential is a helical gear LSD for the DQ500 S tronic dual-clutch gearbox in the Audi RS3 8V and TTRS 8S. Made in the USA by Autotech, it uses a patented wave profile so it keeps sending drive to both wheels even when one axle is unloaded, where other gear-type diffs lose drive. In everyday driving it stays transparent to the driver and the traction control, while on track or a twisty road it cuts wheelspin without the understeer a clutch-type diff can bring. The original ring gear bolts can be reused when fitting.
Features
- Helical gear design with patented Wave Profile for drive at near-zero and zero axle load
- Patented carbon fibre bias plates for the pinions, so performance stays consistent over the life of the diff
- 9310 alloy steel gears in case-hardened billet or forged steel bodies
- ARP fasteners throughout
- Reduces wheelspin and improves traction, with no tendency to push or understeer
- Transparent to the driver and traction control in normal driving
- Reuses the original ring gear bolts
- Designed and manufactured in the USA by Autotech
