Yeah 3.9 is quite a chnge and with a turbo until your used to it wouldnt be to great for your fuel economy and espescially all the tyre shredding :wink:

3.7's are good mate,

with the turbo you wouldnt want your first gear to be to tall, or it will be useless. I can still manage around 60-70 km/h in first with the 3.7's.

Diff technics here in Sydney will do a drive in drive out ratio change to either 3.7, 3.9 or 4.11 for 1100. Its a day job, just book it in, drop it of in the morning, and pick it up in the afternoon. Its what i did with my last car and i highly reccomend them

I think you would be better off with the 3.45's than the 3.9's. What are the other turbo guys running in the diff?

Torque wont be a drama with the turbo, I reckon with the 3.9's you'll just be spinning the bloody wheels everywhere..lol

I got my ratio change, 3.45 > 3.91, including new bearings, and re-shim LSD for $950 at Gear Exchange in Sydney.

Dude with the turbo honestly 3.45 will do the job fine to put the power down slightly quicker a 3.7 no need to go any higher.

Any higher and deending on how your gonna have the turbo car tuned and setup even a 3.7 might be just a tyre shredder off the line
