Default ? Re: Moser 12 bolt rear ends and gear changes

I am running a Moser 12 bolt rear end with 3.90 gears in it.

I am thinking i may need to run a taller gear set for my rear mount turbo setup.

1. How hard is it to change gears in a Moser rear end?

2. Are there a specific gear ratio recommended for rear mount turbos and our 6 spd cars?

3. How long would it take someone to change out the gears in a Moser rear end while in the car?

Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry i originally posted this in the wrong section....my bad.

For a subtle change you can try different size tires first to see if the gear change is actually warranted. You are probably looking at $2-400 in labor charges depending who does it and how much he has to do!

If you have never changed gearing before, you might want someone who has there to help you. It really isn't hard, just helps to have a knowledgeable extra set of hands. The hardest part is getting bearing preloads where they need to be. but even then, that's really not difficult.
