Lots and lots of race teams, and the guys over at Gbox use the Delvac 75W90, which is what I have in my 996 box at the moment (which also has a Guard LSD in it) and I'm plenty happy with it. I've run the Delvac stuff for years in multiple Porsche boxes. If you go this route, you have to buy in the gallon, NOT the quart (like you find at the local Autozone), as apparently they are grossly different fluids.
Supposedly, the "new" Audi manual trans fluid (what comes in, say, a new S5) is the cat's meow, but it's something like $60/quart from your dealer!!!

Interesting, as we just put a Gbox overhauled six speed back into a 996TT, and the paperwork that came with it said to use the OEM fluid only..............

That is interesting.. as the last time I needed fluid, I drove out to Gbox and they just pumped me 4 quarts of Delvac out of their drum.....

Perhaps it had something to do with the type of LSD you had installed, but their recommendation for every rebuild they have done for us is the OEM fluid only.

Perhaps. I am running a Guard LSD in mine (though the next time around I'm going to do the OS Giken, as Guard hasn't exactly gone in the right direction since the sale of the company).
