Awesome, you're going to love it. I pulled the JB4 off in the fall so I'm still at stock power levels and it's still a blast to drive. Traction control is much less of a fun killer now.

Time to pull out my 3.46 LSD and send it to its new owner :)

I have my 2.56 DCT MFactory pumpkin, brand new, never installed that I'm considering selling. $1700+SH no core charge. I bought it and never installed it.

Change of plans? This whole group buy thing was your idea :)

I know right. I'm selling the differential I bought which is the reason I did all this work haha. I'm considering a 2.81 final drive, MFactory LSD still of course. This is the same deal I'm offering people right now, except no down time and no core charge. I would like the core back if possible once installed however.

That depends, but most likely around a week. I've been saying a week or two and sometimes they have them 3-4 days later. Just depends on if they have your housing in stock or needs to go out for machining.

Any clue if bolted differentials and welded differentials both with 3.08 gears for manual trans interchangeable? Meaning can I buy a bolted 3.08 large pumpkin differential and have it installed on my car that originally came with a welded 3.08 large pumpkin differential? I would imagine so but curious if anyone can confirm.

Good luck finding one however, that is the only hard part. If you can find one, it will save you a couple hundred bucks.

As I've quickly realized, so far I've found three differentials that are a possible match with 03/07 build dates. I have not been successful in finding anything pre 03/07.

All you can do is hope someone driving a dinosaur will have some bad luck, like a blower motor fire or something.

I recently picked up a bolted 3.08 215 case diff. The part number tells you I'd it is booked or not so you can check before hand and find one for around $200 on ebay or less at a parts yard near you.

756xxxx is bolted. 757xxxx is welded.

@MFactory any clutch style lsd for the 215 case available? If so, what would be the group pricing for just the lsd carrier unit?

Also, is there an install kit for the 215 case. I have the shim pack for a 188 but this e82/e90 diff is different with the side bearings.

I just ordered a large pumpkin 3.08 bolted carrier, I should receive it on a week or so. I'd like to get in on the group buy; I'm about 25 minutes from San Dimas, CA so I could potentially drive it over to the shop if its an option. Please PM details for payment and timing etc.
