The Peloquin differential is also compatible with the Volkswagen factory 2% LSD, , Pelolok 40% for a Stage 2, and the 80% Velocity/Peloquin shim kit for a Stage 3 setup.
You don't have to use the shims, but you have the option to use them, they act as a buffer under hard acceleration, to reduce the side to side pull, that you get with a LOT of power.
The Peloquin differential uses the same internal gears, that are in the 02A and 02J Peloquin differential.
The Peloquin differential uses Volkswagen factory trunion shafts (the stubs that the CV flanges attach to). You would need a LOT of HP to test the trunion strength, but it's there...
I like having the option of the factory shims, and this way if you already have the 80% kit, you can still use that nice machined aluminum CV flange puck seal, since it uses the factory trunion shaft with the 10mmx1.5 threaded. The factory puck seals are a joke, and when they fall out, the gear oil can ruin the inner CV's.
Lifetime replacement warranty, shim compatibility, and it now comes with pre-installed diff. bearings and bolt kit.
To recap...
The benefits of the Peloquin are:
1) It uses the Peloquin 02A/02J internal gears.
2) It uses Volkswagen factory trunion shafts, the stubs that the CV flanges attach to.
3) You can use the factory 2% shims, the Peloquin/Velocity 40/80% kit, or no shims at all.
4) Lifetime REPLACEMENT warranty...
Make sure the ring gear goes on the right way, to verify locate the letter that is stamped on the ring gear, that's the side that the nuts bolt up against.
THE BOLT STUDS MUST BE PRESSED IN AND THE RING GEAR MUST BE HEATED TO 220º F AND MUST ALSO BE PRESSED ON
YOU SHOULD NEVER USE THE NUTS TO PULL THE STUDS IN< OR TO PULL THE RING GEAR DOWN
The 020 Peloquin now comes with the all the bolts already pressed on.
