FL How can I convert a T2 diff to 4 lug??

I have a 1990 GTU with 5 lug front and 5 lug Turbo 2 differential. I would like to convert it to a 4 lug set up, is that possible? Thanks

You need the TII Diff and the Halfshafts..the Splines on the 4 and 5 lug Setups are the same.
How are you gonna hook that TII Diff to a N/A?
..You need a Conversion shaft or you gotta run the TII Trans and flywheel,starter and clutch slave also,..also the Clutch and Pressure plate.Then you can run a TII driveshaft to the Diff.

I sheared the halfshafts with my old set-up like a hot knife through butter, I'd hate to see what I'd do now. I'm looking at a nice set of wheels that only come in 4 lug.

then you're being a stupid *** dumbshit.

4 lug is an n/a rear axle assembly, yet you want wheels and complain about breaking weaker parts.

make up your ******* mind. do you want the bling sitting broken on the side of the road or do you want to keep the 5 lug and find some different wheels? there is a reason why axles have less studs on them..

and i'm not really a dick, i'm just saying exactly what every single person who has read this thread is thinking and conveying the point back to you.

if you really as dead set on doing this stupid *** move then take a set of n/a half shafts and T2 half shafts to a driveline shop and tell them you need the outer CV joint mated to the T2 half shaft, throw on the crappy 4 lug hub and brakes and have a few extra sets made and lying around for when the n/a CV joints break since they are now the weakest link.
