Torsen T2 or OBX ?
Hi all,
I bought an complete rear differential with "open" diff from the breakers. They didn't had any LSD's to sell.
So I bought an OBX LSD and bolt / spacer kit.
Today I took the differential and opened it up. I allmost took the diff out and then I noticed it is not an open diff.... It is in fact a Torsen T-2.
Now what to do ? Put the OBX in ? Or sell the OBX and go ahead with the T2 ?
Thanks for the advice !

Cheap company that makes cheap ****. For instance we wouldn't suggest buying their turbo "kits". Basically a ebay turbo kit that happens to have a brand name.
Their diff however, works great after you replace some shitty hardware and flatten the mounting surfaces. In the end it's still cheaper than finding a torsen.

OBX makes me LOL, cause everytime I see an OBX sticker on a car around here, or a front license plate that reads "OBX", I'm like...wow, they have cheap junk on their car. Then I realize that they don't, they just really like vacationing in Outer Banks, NC.

I have a torsen with a broken ear on the alum housing.
I can weld ear back on but (after reading fc works good)
pm me offers or email me.

130k on diff.
