I just read your other thread on the gears in the Torsen..

So basically the 3.26 is from 6-Sp Supra and the 3.76 is from the 4-sp auto Supra. FYI--Another thing i haven't seen anyone mention is that the GS400/430 rear end is 3.27, so basically - you got the same rear end gear with Torsen because stock rear end is w/o Limited slip..

Yes the gear ratio is the same this one is just a torsen. Its is out of a 6-speed supra but most 6-speed supras have a larger ring gear and case (B03B) so they dont bolt in and are a 3.16 ratio. Mine is out of a JDM 1998 6 speed supra. From 1997 to 2002 the 6-speed supras were made in japan with a A03B instead of the B03B diff so they have the smaller ring gear and case. They bolt up directly to the gs4xx but they have the 3.26 ratio.

I got your point, but aside from getting the Torsen (limited slip) in the rear-end, atleast for me and most people the whole point of getting the Supra rear end is to get the lower 3.76 gears for quicker acceleration. Why would you want the 3.26 when you have the same gears stock.. If you want to add a limited slip to the stock rear-end you could have bought a brand new TRD limited slip and put it in the stock rear-end instead of going this route by accepting the wrong rear-end.. Well its your car but i would send it back to get the 3.76 or add my own limited slip in my own rear if I wanted to stay with the same stock gears..Just my Opinion.. Good luck to ya..

Dont need the higher gears because im super charging it just wanted the traction.. I could have built mine into an aftermarket lsd but i didnt want a lsd i wanted a torsen style.

I hate to see it go it looked so good under my hood It's going to good home. I'll post some dyno#'s I got w/ low boost. Never got a chance to dyno when I finally got a smaller pulley. I don't think the Procharger C-2 is as potent as the RMM Vortec but you give up something for the compact size.
