The GTUs had the same basic suspension as all S5s including the Turbo but it DID NOT share a driveshaft or rear diff with the Turbo. Please do not post inaccurate information.

but he did say the GTUs is the same as a TII with the same rear/driveshafts and such which I thought the GTUs uses the N/A stuff so he is still wrong.

the only real difference between the GXL and GTU is tranny/rear end/driveshaft/axles/motor/ and ECU.
if you have the TII motor tranny rear and all that then your only other differences are what the autoadjust suspension if your GXL is so equiped if not it uses the same suspension as the turbo. and I think the TII has power windows/locks/mirrors just like the GXL so that is the same as well in that case.

oh and the hood is the different. can't forget that as it is a big one.
