At first glance the only difference is Toda Racing printed on the casing. I took it apart alongside the OEM and all parts appear to be the same, worm gear doesnt look any different, springs are the same. Thought hey ho... worth a go.... HOWEVER.... went to install it and upon removing the maintenance bolt and putting the oil bolt in the difference became apparant. The TODA's oil bolt is recessed into the hole by about 5-7mm(OEM is flush). A modification that im sure anyone with decent machine tools could carry out. All oil ways seem to be the same size as OEM.

I can only assume that in reducing the volume of oil on the piston side of the oil bolt, you are increasing the pressure... anyone confirm?

Car sounds fine. Puts this question to bed anyway!
I was thinking about buying the Toda one also, but I took the plunge yesterday on the inlinepro race spec TCT. I live local to inlinepro, so I removed my TCT and took it to them. It took jeremy one hour to complete the job. I asked him if he simply sandblasted the worm gear, he told me they do something else and sandblasting the worm gear is only a band-aid. My oil bolt is also recessed by a bit, perhaps Toda and inlinepro found out something we don't know?

Only time will tell really, sure its cured my noise (as I would expect a new OEM to) but the question is with respect to longevity.... is this possibly a permanent fix?....

Ask me again in a years time
