Congratulations, Eddie .. 161 is hauling butt. I know Matt appreciates mention of the
GT LSD solving your handling and diff breakage problem. I'd heard about the previous string of bad luck ..
BTW, the Skinne Bug also uses a G50/50, but with the full
GT dogbox conversion (links below). I haven't heard from them in a couple years, so I suppose "no news is good news".

Our Maui parts tester was pretty fast in its day (9.36 @ 146, but just VW stuff):
