Message After owning both an NA and a TT, I immediately found that the TT rear diff made typical speeds (25, 45, 65) fall onto a much more relaxed (for lack of a better term) RPM level. I personally couldnt see the point of swapping in the 410s into a car that is 99% of the time for street/highway use. Besides, at my boost levels, I am in no real lack of peppiness or acceleration. Ever since intalling supersplits and TPs the power comes on plenty quick for my purposes and comes on in spades.

Now if you are serious about tracking, or dragging, or every traffic signal is a race. Then obviously the 410s would be a must and a more than welcome change. If my car spent any real significant time on the track, not just twice a year, then I'd likely get them as well.

Be honest with yourself as to what your priorities are though, I believe I have read when looking into them that they are noisier as well, dunno if that was a gear whine or what, might be one of those mods that trades comfort for performance. If so you'd have to weigh the gains against the benefits obviously and be able to be honest with yourself over which you prefer, not which you have been told you should prefer.
