quaife makes a special ATB w/ a lockup feature, that's what we'd need to run in the rear...
...the standard ATB is like a torsen, and two torsen's don't help with wheel spin.
That's why the clutch type rear LSD is nice.
not to mention cheaper.

"ATB" is a quiafe acronym = Automatic Torque Biasing, basically, their version of a torsen...
...Torsen = Torque Sensing.
They are both torque related lsd's, not wheel spin related like a Viscous or a Clutch-Type diff.
the lsd stasis sells is a clutch type lsd, which as mentioned, is wheel speed related.

Yes, yes it is.
KTR made a single-turbo conversion S4 that just never panned out. They ran the quarter with it a few times and basically broke something on the car EVERY time.

So the obvious next question ....
Which is better?
I would think the clutch type would be "harder" in that it is either on or off whereas the torsen type would be less dramatic about what it does.
But what do I know? :-)
