Torsen makes the diffs (or at least has made the diffs, there are some differences from year to year) but there are claims about Porsche making or designing the transmission itself. I read it on NASIOC some time ago, I'll see if I can find the thread or article.

Maybe but a representative denying a link doesn't mean there isn't one, it'll have to remain a forum legend of sorts.

Uhhh....I don't think Subaru uses Mitsubishi turbos. They use IHI turbos and I couldn't find any link between IHI and Mitsubishi. I even looked at my new turbo and didn't see any Mitsubishi symbols.

I'll check the turbo I took out, I believe it's an IHI turbo as well.

Quote: The design is also naturally balanced, so balance shafts aren't necessary for smooth operation, which means less rotating weight.
Incorrect Otter! A horizontally opposed 6 (eg Porsche 911) is perfectly balanced...4 cylinder is NOT....
