So the "power" (as in bhp) will be evenly distributed (thats a 50:50 F/R split), the torque, which is what the DCCD controls, (settings dependent) goes from (Lock) 50:50 f/r to (Open) 36:64 f/r.

So am I right in assuming that you should use a locked diff (newage spec c) for a drag/ best launch? Thank Paul.

Do you mean that, regardless of how the DCCD is set, the BHP will be 50/50 front to rear?

No, the torque always = 100, so starts at 50:50 and goes to 36:64, then as an example, an STI, have front and rear lsd's, this means they can split that torque again (say 50:50 as an example) across the axis if it gets slip. Theoretically that means you can in that configuration, have 50% of your torque going through just 1 wheel. Power (BHP) is disributed by drive shafts, these will always provide the same power no matter what, unless you break one

The hatchback is where it starts to get tricky with the dccd as its got quite a few setting compared to the early ones and takes some getting used to ,, manual , auto , auto front , auto rear ,, plus you have the Vehicle dynamic controls aswell as its got three settings , on , off , and just traction control off leaving the dynamic stuff still on , it's still 65-35 but seems a bit harder (safer) to get the back out compared to the other dccd Scoobs iv owned but I'm still getting used to the extra settings and what it makes the car do lol

Torque iss distributed by the differential to the driveshaft, it does not mean you will always have torque going to a wheel (hence you use limited slip differentials for this), but the wheels will always have power to them (even if there is no torque there due to slip).
