Nope, doesn't make sense at all....
The only thing you'd weld to the frame would be a solid diff mount, which has little to nothing to do with a how the limited slip functions.

A boot is generally made of leather or some similar material, such as a shifter boot, or a CV boot, or something of the sorts. There's nothing you can do to make a non-lsd into a limited slip differential short of swapping the whole thing out. You can weld the spider gears, but that's going to make a 100% locker, which is a BAD idea for a street car.

no no....i have lsd...its a '87 gxl n/a so its got lsd...but i guess its only in the clutch or something....and the boot is a metal boot...my bad i know im not explaining this good....but i used to have the website for this boot on my other computer and now i cant find it...its not an actually BOOT boot its just in the shape of a boot its like metal...and i think its welded on near the rear end of the frame so that both tires spin when you have the lsd....but in the front of the car...

They're usually bolted on, but people tend to break them quite often, and so they weld the thing solid so that it doesn't have the rubber bushing between the bolts and the mount, then they bolt it to the frame.

Mazdatrix.com sells stock and some competition replacements, I think scalliwag on ebay sells some as well, though he's been MIA lately and has a lot of people mad at him.

It sounds like he's talking about that pinion snubber mod.
Yeah, it looks like a little boot, but it's actually a rubber or polyurethane solid piece.
You don't need to weld it; you just need to drill a hole and secure the snubber with a nut.
