How do 08-09 ECUs react to the presence of a diff?

Oh wow, that's pretty cool. I didn't know if the VDIM/E-Diff system we have would know how to adjust to it.

Hi, did you have to use any extra liner or spacer?, or just a direct bolt on. If you have to modify anything please let us know also.

Thanks!!

trackdood, good stuff! looking for more updates. the sagging rear on tight turns is beggin' for a good differential.
