So you can use either an audi d-line or subie STI so you have electronic bias control to power a syncro, and get even more ground clearance, AND have two speed ranges on the portal setup for hi/lo... I think it's a great idea, anyone that has about $50k to spare give us a call and we'll hook you up ha Jim Bostig Engineering www.bostig.com
