Puddymod Stage2 Diff

I found someone on S2Ki selling an unused Puddymod Stage 2 diff with OS Giken LSD. I jumped on it but didn't install it right away. The complete spec was:
  • Stage 2 build performed by Ben Herne aka Puddymod
  • AP2 Housing
  • OS Giken LSD
  • 4.3 Mazdaspeed competition gears
  • Polished Gears
  • ARP Hardware
  • AP1 Input flange
Puddymod Stage 2 Diff with OS Giken LSD - 8/31/2011

Puddymod is super detailed with his diff builds. He even includes pictures of all the tolerances and torque settings.
"Balancing the carrier and the ring gear,
balance is just over a half thousands true round"
"Turning torque on the pinion after the PuddyMod solid
steel sleeve is custom fitted, it is set at 12 inch pounds"
"Backlash set at 2.6 to 3.0 thousands,
it also shows the perfect gear to gear pattern"
