Anybody have experience with the OBX LSD?

Anybody have any experience with this OBX LSD (https://www.ebay.com/i/173928996501?ul_noapp=true)? Apparently, this OBX LSD is similar to the 3rd Gen Torsion LSD, but N/A version. I'm wondering why it's so inexpensive? Seems to me that a Torsion diff sould run about a grand.

I was seriously considering one, but in the end decided to go a different route. From what I understand from my internet searching. If you take them apart and replace the pre-load washers with better quality ones and use quality bolts when you put it back together they are actually decent. Someone in a thread somewhere said that you do the quality control for them. Here is a thread that somewhat talks about it.

Yeah, I suppose that's why it's so cheap. You get what you pay for.
