yes excellent.

mine is a 2.9 on 13s fabola for the motorway

although my next venture is a 2.76 FD

as the turbo torque will "easily" pull this!

both will do what you want, also depends on what size wheels you are running?

A 3.1 diff is fairly "tall", so it will cruise well on the motorway etc, & as Benross said, the Turbo will have enough torque to pull it low down.

i'm running a 3.1 in mine aswell, changed it from a 3.44 cos it was doing me nut in on the motorways. 45 in 1st, 65 in 2nd, 85 in 3rd with a 6k rev limit. i jus sit around 3.5/4k on the motorway in 4th and its much better.
