Sorry for the delay, but I didn't see the request for info on the 2 different types of LSD's.



I had the stock torsen unit. I switched to the Porsche Motorsport clutch type unit when we did the turbo conversion at the suggestion of my mechanic. He said the torsen unit wouldn't hold up as well as the Porsche Motorsport clutch because of the increased torque my engine was now putting out.



I'm also a track-rat type of driver and don't put my car on the street much at all. I haven't had any problems with the new unit to date.

How much is an OEM LSD? I have been thinking of trading my car in for a 968, but LSD equipped ones are hard to find and quite a bit more expensive. I found that the Guard transmission and Quaife units are over 1k. What are my options? This car would mostly be a daily driver, but I autocross frequently and will probly do 1 or 2 DEs.



Thanks!

I'm going to guess that a new OEM LSD would cost way more than the Guards or Quaife.

Mark,

I prefer the plate type for track as well. Guards makes a plate type I believe. he also reccomends the torsen for more street oriented cars.
