doubtful....more than likely have to be shortened

But from i know, he turbo diffs aren't any stronger or more reliable than any other (later) model sigma of any variant....im sure the Turbo diehard fans will correct me if im wrong

Correct, Turbo diff is just as shit as the others! Only difference I have ever noticed though is I pulled the centre out of my first GH Turbo and it actually had a "window" which allowed me to lock it without pulling the centre apart. Not sure if that was a once off though. I've heard the galant wagon centres and axles are stronger than the sedans but I'm no expert.

you and put a Sigma or Scorpion or Lancer EX diff in the Galant (need to modify mounts to leaf springs) as this is what i have done in one of my GB Galant's.
I used the Sigma diff origionally, but now have a Scorpion one to go in.
with the two different offset rim's i ran on the car it had the same track front and back and they cleared.
I ran it with a Sigma master, no booster, just a spacer to adapt to the different bolt pattern of the Sigma master.

The Galant diff can take alot of punnishment.
I am (slowly) working on a Galant diff with Scorpion disc's and caliper's, needs the axle hub to be machined a bit to accomodate the Scorpion disc and a bracket for the caliper to mount.
Refer this post for what i am doing. http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.p ... iff#p88873

Oh cool. Thanks for that mate :thumpsup:

I'll need someone else to mod my diff as I don't have the skills.

I'll post the link for that pic instead of posting the pic

EX Lancer diff is identical to a Scorpion/Sigma diff.

A stock Scorpion diff will fit under your car no worries but you will need to make sure you get the correct offset wheels. If you wanted to run a 15x7 for example you would need a +25 or 30 offset.
