Torsen Center
Differential Upgrade
***For Manual Transmissions Only
Tuning the center differential provides one of the most
significant performance gains available to the Quattro owner. The standard
torsen center differential in the S4 and A4 provides a 2:1 torque distribution
capability. This enables the end of the car with traction (generally the rear)
to deliver twice the torque being delivered by the least tractive end of the
vehicle (generally the front).
The STaSIS high bias torsen provides a dramatic
improvement in negotiating a turn quickly and efficiently. Now your car can be
3 cars in one( front, all and rear wheel drive):
Hard
braking leading into a turn
Car acts like a front wheel drive – torsen acts like an open
differential when its not under power. Wheels turn independently and car
control is improved.
Mid
Corner, Throttle On
Car acts like an all wheel drive– torsen
delivers equal amounts of power to front and rear wheels. This maximizes grip,
allowing more power to be applied at this stage of a turn.
Corner
Exit, Hard Acceleration
Car acts like a rear wheel drive car –
front wheel slip is reduced because the torsen delivers up to 88% of the engine
torque to the rear wheels where the most traction is.
Core
Exchange
There is a core charge of $550 a STaSIS center differential is
sent out to you. When you exchange your center differential for a STaSIS
unit, send your differential back to STaSIS and your $550 core charge will be refunded.
You may also send out your differential for modification and
not incur a core charge. It can usually be modified and shipped out the
same day we receive it.
