David had it on his A4. Ask him how he liked it.

Default Oh yes it works and proud to be the first guinea pig on a B6 platform to get it...

The TorSen is a bit different on this car, at least on the A4. I waited months, something like 8 months to be exact to see if STaSIS was going to have a spare to take apart to see the differences. In the end I got fed up and took mine out and shipped it to them, they modified it and shipped it back to me. It was a long wait, but well worth it.

Default Any downsides to their diff?

For example do you give up any of the all weather driveability of the stock quattro system by going with the Stasis?

Default Downside, possibly, but I don't know them. The Quattro remains the same, you only...

Expand the operating range of the TorSen, at least that's how I understand it.

Default Take off faster? You might think so because of the weight transfer to the rear, thus more grip...

Thus more power being transferred to the rear axle by the TorSen. The more dramatic effect is on how the handling characteristics of the car improve when you punch out of a curve/turn. It reacts more like a RWD car and not a FWD car. It pushes you out of the turn with a lot less understeer. Keep in mind this is what I see/feel with my car which as a heavily modified suspension. This effect might be a bit different on a regular A4/S4.
