AJP Turboed Cars May Benefit From Wavetrac Differential
Autotech Sport Tuning, south of Los Angeles in Aliso Viejo, CA, has a product that promises to alleviate the problems associated with high-horsepower front-wheel-drive cars, such as the Honda Civic Si with the AJP turbo kit. The company, normally associated with Volkswagens, introduced the Wavetrac differential in May 2008 with the promise of minimizing torque steer, improving launches and enhancing cornering.
The Honda Civic Si has about a 70%-30% distribution of power between the drive wheels. Under boost, AJP turbo kit customers can experience uneven launches and fishtailing. The Wavetrac differential balances it out to about 50% to each wheel. This means straight launches and no fishtailing.
Wavetrac differential product announcement and subsequent user feedback.
There is a limited lifetime warranty regardless of racing or street use, which is transferable to a new owner.
Best of all, Autotech Sport Tuning is currently offering a special promotional deal for all Honda owners, street and race:
Buy a Wavetrac differential for 30% off list price. Get published in a magazine within one year. Receive a refund of the remaining 70%. If you remain unpublished, you pay the remaining 30% at the end of the one-year timeframe.

We plan to install one in the shop car and several customers have already indicated a strong interest. All AJP customers should look into this fantastic offer.
Here are pictures from the Wavetrac booth at PRI 2008 in Orlando, FL. Note that the sign asserts that in a stock setup, only one drive wheel is working – in the Si, that would be modified to be 70%. Also observe the graphic of the matching skid marks, suggesting that you will see similar results with the Wavetrac differential.
