on the track out if you're in need of some help and you're in the right gear, give it just a tad of gas. it works as it should. not getting in the way when it shouldn't. it also keeps you safe in case you lift wheels, won't break any pinion gears and what not cuz it keeps all the wheels moving and it's lift-one-wheel-safe.
basically every 03-04 should have one.

I need to add to what I said earlier. I am now having large issues with spinning the inside front tire coming out of corners. . . even WITH the Quaife.
I was under the impression that if there was ANY load on the Quaife front diff, that it would transmit power to the wheel with the most traction. This does not appear to be the case. The front tires is definitely not coming off the ground, but it is still spinning.
Guess I'll have to try a Cusco front LSD for next year. . .

what kinda numbers are serious? Cause we are starting to see 400+hp and 400+tq everyday now. im shooting for about 450hp and 450tq on my setup.

Quaife's are only the cat's meow if you do not lift/unload a wheel enough so that it can not spin it form loss of traction. If you are looking for diffs that are "wheel lift" friendly then you need to go with a conventional LS diff, such as Cusco, 
, etc...
I had one on my E36 M3, and until I got my suspension sorted out where I could keep both rears on the ground firmly, I was always spinning the inside wheel.
Good for you guys that are asking questions ahead of time instead of finding out you bought the wrong thing like the guy who is now reporting he just discovered the inside wheel spins after it's installed.

You don't need an ECU flash for a LSD. A the front limited slip in ALL evo's are completely 100% mechanical (no electronics or sensors). The center differential (ACD & AYC) is a different story.
