Pulled away hard from a stop and bang! Always something.

Default Any surface transitions?
I've got a theory going about the rear torsens not handling shocks from sharp changes in traction. Like starting with one rear wheel off the road in the gravel and having it come up onto the pavement while accelerating. Anything like that in your situation?

Thanks,
Rich

No. Dumped the clutch (sintered iron 4 puck) and boom. Both tires on the road. 500+bhp though. (450 with the current software/street gas).

Was the diff oil shockproof or not? So far I've seen two rear Torsens go when filled with sp oil
