New MkV R32 Haldex can have up to 75% rear torque bias. What changed on Haldex?
I thought the system on the original R32 was identical to our TT and that at best 50% of torque could be split to the rear. How is the new system able to divert 75%? Is this something retrofittable to older systems ?

There is an updated Haldex that supports this bias>>>
that you can purchase for your current TT...you will see it referred to as "race haldex"....available at Neuspeed....

Note the word "available" which means
that it doesn't truely transmit up to 75% of the torque. If the front wheels are on ice and slipping - then 100% of the AVAILABLE torque can go to the rear - since NO torque is available up front - because torque can't exist if it's not being transmitted. It can't without a center differential and neither can ours. The race haldex or BLUE can't either. It can torque transfer characteristics are different - but due to the limitations of the entire drivetrain system - no more than 50% can go to front or rear.
