shim kit on a turbo 16v

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

I believe the kit you are referring to is the peloquin shim kit and it is
(last time I heard) was $80 or so from someone here on the list (peter??).
BUT, if you are wanting to beef up the tranny I would start with a 16v trans
(I like the gearing in the AGB) then decide what type of  diff you want to
go with.  Opinions on this list will differ but I think for the money the
phantom ain't bad but you also have to consider what you are going to be
doing.  For drag racing with slicks, I'd definitely shuck out the extra
dough for the quaife as I bet the slicks will eat the phantom up pretty
quickly but if your just gonna zip around the streets and beat up on some
Honduhs and want to save a $500 then maybe the phantom will work for you.
There are other diffs out there but most are generic and may need some work
to fit unlike the quaife but the quaife also comes with an unlimited
warranty that even covers racing so you could swap the thing from trans to
trans as you change vehicles.  I have never broken down and bought one
myself but I have driven and ridden in other's cars that have them and they
are nice!!  The shim kit you are talking about is about the cheapest and
easiest upgrade but it's effectiveness is questionable although better than
stock.

I'm sure others will have more input on this subject as well.  HTH!!

I have a scirocco 16v turbo and I want to beef up the tranny a little.  I
was looking at the shim kit for 100 and I was wondering if it will beef up
the tranny?
Also I was looking a the phantom grip differential and wanted to know how it
was?  I'm going to be rebuilding a 9A tranny and I wanted to know what to
put in while I'm in there.
