You can send them yours and this way you won't have any core charge, or you can search the classifieds in your local area. I found mine from a person local to me when I lived in the Bay Area. I got it for $200 and I also got the original receipt as it was purchased directly from STaSIS only 2 months prior.

You just have to look and be prepared to buy.

The torsen in B5s is can split up to 60/40.
A Stasis or the standard washer modification will allow it to split 80/20.
I purchased the washers and rollpins for $155 + gear oil, from a vendor on Vortex, and it was a very simple install. The car is still in the air while a couple more parts come in, but everyone is always thrilled with the aftermath.

As far as I understand the function of the torsen, it is the angle of the gears that give the torque split. The gears must be changed to change the torque split. The torsen is also a free spinning diferential, that is why Audi must use electronics (brake application to the spinning wheel) to keep one wheel from spinning when traction is lost. Without EDL the car is only a one wheel drive car. Put your car up in the air and test it. B.

I have actually talked to the techs at STaSIS and it is only a 1 day turnaround, so depending on where you are located the shipping could be quick. Also for me when it comes to the mechanical workings of my car I like warranties as you never know what could go wrong but if you are mechanically inclined then you should be ok, plus the cost is a less.

It is a good upgrade as I love how my car handles and feels going into the corners.
