I know someone trying that but they dont have the skills you do. thanks ill take that as a compliment! yeah its coming along I guess… Diff is in back there, wheel bearings and plates machined and might be mocked up tonight actually. > [@Turbo plugs for my GSRT...HELP, the car wont start...its too cold out?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/turbo-plugs-for-my-gsrt-help-the-car-wont-start-its-too-cold-out/39705/24): > > just wondering why didn’t you just do a haldex swap??? in order of importance: - 01E/X transmission is still somewhat weak, and still produced by VW/Audi. - said transmission still costs a lot of money. - haldex needs to be welded or controlled. - 2 more cv shafts, 1 more drive shaft with bearing support needed, entire rear knuckles and floor pan would be needed. - its been done before in gti’s all the time. - more weight, more moving pieces, more potential headaches and broken parts. - more power robbing parasitic loss - more money over all - much more time involved in the swap When people see this thing they will realize how simple and effective it all will be. Power, weight and traction = speed. Less shit to break, less shit to flex and move about… its all for the better. annnd, when I wheelie by you from a dig in your EVOOHHHHH, ill just smile. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-t5-tranny-working-or-not/256865)._
