Went to the track after getting launch control setup.. I had 12 pounds of boost from 2700rpm launch control on 255 stickies. It hooked soo good for the few milli-seconds it did. I made it to like the 60 foot mark.. ![facepalm](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/facepalm.gif)
So.. Stock 1.6 vlsd can't hold 18 psi on a Evo3 16g
I thought it was my 1st gear, but figured out it was the diff.
For a 1.8 Torsen swap, do I need axles/driveshaft? What else? My rear is completely stock for all I know and I'd rather go ahead and fork out the money for something that will hold 350ishwhp.. because that's my goal.
thanks.

That's a pretty good deal...although I've heard the TorSens don't hold up to drag launches. May look at an open swap to get it going and put a clutch type in it later. Open 7" 1.8L unit still needs the driveshaft and halfshafts to do the swap, but is cheaper. You can usually pick up the RX7 clutch type LSDs for about $150 and get a local shop to install it properly.

Hopefully, I'm probably going to go with a 7.5 Ford Rear when I can afford it. TorSen will be quick, and hold my power. It's the only one semi-local to me, and I really need my car back up.
Next time I go to the track I'll just roll off the line slowly, because all I wanted was a damn trap!

Yep, still haven't been able to get the snapped off part out of the hub either otherwise I'd have pictures. It snapped off right where the C-Clip goes..
I was starting to get on it, but the turbo was only at about 3-4psi when it happened.
