LSD on n/a? what are the benefits?

[benchwarmer]

The diff is on my list of things to change. The 4.30 gearing is handy driving around town since it helps the NA motor get a heavy MKIII moving. However, it sucks for highway driving where I spend most of my time.

IMO id look at other things like driving style, rotating mass and maximizing tune on the car for MPG before i swapped a diff out.

just my opinion tho.

The only thing it's good for on an n/a is when you swap in a 7mgte...ahhhhh, now it's good.

compare highway speed to engine speed, or jack up the car and you should be able to rotate the driveshaft and count the number of rotations of the back wheel

what he posted works prolly the best if you go by the tag on the firewall it tells you what the car came with stock if its swapped itll be wrong.

All N/A Diffs, whether open or not, were 4.30 for all years..

Ah, thank you guys.
