Try doing a search for "Changing the diff in my Mk 5" there is some info there, I changed the rear axle in mine to a 4.6 and it made a lot of difference.

There was a thread on here talking about different axles but I couldn't find it with a quick search, but there were lsd's for mk3' axles (which some have fitted to mk5's) and Matt was selling them a while back, but If you can weld/fabricate and if the Holden is the 9 inch ford then I would be sussing out how to make that fit.

Limited slip diffs were a factory option - but are extremely rare.

Not completely what you want, but Axxez had a modded (Jeep Wrangler) locking diff mounted into his rear axle when he went to Mongolia:

BTW.: You may want to use a more descriptive title for your next topic...
