That Is for an s4 If that Is relevant or not. If I convert my GXL's Drivetrain, to that of a Turbo II, I would like to know If I could "bypass" the Differential and move on to The Turbo II Tranny, Driveshaft etc.

And If the Differential varies, with the GXL and Turbo II, by how much, In terms of specs? I know they are both LSD.

The GXL diff is a long-nose Mazda 7" just like the rest of the 2nd-gen N/As. The T2 has a much larger diff (mazda 8")

I'm pretty sure that the GTUs has a TII rear end (and wheels, suspension, etc...)

Mazda never made any N/As with any T2 driveline parts. The GTUs has a N/A tranny and a 7" rear (with 4.30 gears and a special diff)

Thats just what everybody wants to think. That whole GTU(s) to T2 comparison is stupid. An NA is an NA. Everybody wants to think that they have more than what they really have.

If anyone wants to prove me wrong, please feel free to show parts microfiche/diagrams/partnumbers/or side by side pictures clearly showing that the T2 and GTUs shared drivetrain, or that the GTU(s) drivetrain(other than the 4.3's) is different than any other NA.

The vert shares the T2 brakes and suspension and I never hear anyone saying, "the vert is the same as the T2 without the turbo or roof"

big ****

Eat more fibre, and maybe more prunes. That will take care of that problem.

Also, there are several over the counter medications that will help you eliminate that "big ****" problem.
