I'm looking for an LSD (clutch type/helical, don't care) for my VW 012 5spd transmission.

I know Quaife makes one (qdf6q5) and so does Guard. Probably some others out there as well.

This transmission is out of a 2001 VW Passat 1.8T, going into my mid-engine 1.8T powered MK1 Rabbit. I know that the Porsche Boxster has the same transmission with maybe longer gears (albeit different cover plate bearing in pre-1999 versions).

If someone has a good 012 (or the Porsche version) with an LSD already installed they want to sell, I'll buy the whole unit. I wouldn't mind having a spare, or the longer gearing of the Porsche version.

I'm in southern NH.
