seems to be diff blowing season mine went out yesterday as well, i never launch my car but out on some private property and I decide why not. Well I learned why my fears about my car breaking are real. As Muibubbles forced upgrades.

Is there a write up on the S4 Turbo II swap somewhere? Searched but haven't found anything.

really you can attribute it to the tire swap even though at some point with that powertrain its inevitable,im going to go with 255 or 265 in the rear so hopefully the torque off my LS1/T56 combo is absorbed by some amt of tire spin,at least thats my theory cause i sure cant afford the 8.8 swap rt now

the case is cast iron, at least that is the portion that actually fails first. but these diff's aren't made for that kind of abuse.

Those Hankook RS-3's are really sticky tires. I had Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials and swapped to smaller RS-3's and had better traction. Those diff cradles are looking better and better.

Crazy carnage on the diff!
