I'm gonna take it to a real Porsche center tomorrow and see if they recognize it. Mine has CWA written on two seperate parts of the gearbox but with different numbers.

EDIT: What does differential mean?

There are 3 separate components to the transaxle. 1. the bell housing this Porsche part and has the CWA on top and adapts the gearbox to the engine block. 2. the gearbox, it is the AUDI central piece, housing the gear clusters. 3. is the differential, this is Porsche piece it has the CWA on the bottom just below the gear selector and output flanges passenger side. Differential houses Ring and pinion and spyder gears. It is what allows the outside axle to travel faster than the inside axle in a turn.
