Might be useful to some one who wants 50/50 locked, quite hardcore solution IMHO
Customers requested it. A competitive solution to make their Quattro / Syncro Haldex LSC first generation system to work with more power delivered to the rear wheels! Our "Powertrack Insert" will retune the hydraulic system to increase the power delivered to the Haldex clutch instantly. The result is a power distribution 50/50 all time.
While drastically improving snow traction, loose surface traction and launch from stop, it remains smooth enough to be used as a daily driver vehicle. ESP/Traction control and ABS will still work as long you don't disengage it.
Facts:
Powertrack Insert used on OEM system: Power track Insert can be installed on any OEM controller as long they have the screw type stock insert. Looking from over the rear differential, on the controller, you will see a screw with 17mm head. If you have the 17mm head you can use the Powertrack Insert as a bolt-on device. Some controller have their stock insert held by a snap ring retainer and don't have hexagonal head at all. Contact us before buying to ask info on how to use it, we also offer the same solution for these types of controller. To see how your controller is made from under the car, you can just use a small mirror and a light to see the configuration. The Powertrack Insert will replace that stock 17mm insert.
If you already have an aftermarket controller, you can I still use our product as long you have the 17mm screw on top. Therefore you won't benefit from the various delivered rear torque provided by your aftermarket controller anymore as it will work exactly like an OEM unit upgraded with the Powertrack Insert 50/50.
Powertrack insert can make a rear Haldex LSC work as a "mechanical stand alone" on a car that wasn't designed to work with the rear Haldex. One of the best examples is the conversion of a VW Golf MkIV edition 337 to work with the rear of an Audi TT or VW R32 without the swap of all the stock electronics needed from a donor car or without investing in a stand-alone electronic box. Just contact us if you are doing that kind of project and we will tell you how to easily wire your electronics to select ON/OFF a rear 50/50 traction or FWD traction.
Discalimer: Powertrack insert is an aftermarket off-road component that will change the way your car behaves. When you install it, you take all the responsibility and liability of any kind of accident or consequence it could happen. We won't be liable in any ways of car failure, parts breakage, injury or accident. If you have any question, don't hesitate to contact us first.

Response on the over heating question copied from their Haldex Works facebook page
that is a good question. As you probably know there is an oil temparature sensor integrated into the controller. It's basically a resistor/thermistor that sends a signal to the controller ECU to adapt the output pressure signal to retains the wanted rear torque requested by the ECU. My add-on is not a variable device so won't need the data from the oil temperature variation. Somehow, in the stock configuration, the same device will completely disengage the Haldex clutches if the temperature reach 100 deg celcius. When the temperature deacrease under 100 celcius, the system will restart to work. That condition did not happen for a properly working system. If it happens it's the sign that something is defective in the unit. That feature is not supported when my add-on is in place. That means if the oil goes over 100 celcius, clutch still engaged. I personally never encounter a system that was working where oil reach that temperature. Haldex litterature says normal oil temperature operation is about 20 celcius. An higher temperature operated system won't continu to increase pressure on clutches as the pressure regulator switch still limit the pressure on the system. I cannot tell you how many much more heat can be created using my device. It's true working with higher pressure will create more heat, therefore I don't think it will overheat oil in a properly working system remembering that the sytem was design to work at theses pressure. Don't hesitate to ask if you have other quesitons.
