LSD Question

Ok heres the deal, Im in the process of swapping out my N/A S4 for a turbo S5 and I was wondering if I should get an LSD to put on my car as well. Does it make a big difference. I know my car does not have one. Any help would be much appreciated.

Well, what would you rather have at launch, one wheel spinning or two? Get the LSD man, try to get one from a Series 4 Turbo.

Are you driving a s4 SE? The GXLs come with LSD.

power is pointless if you can't put it to the ground. how would you feel after you put this effort into your swap and still got beat by a lesser car that you should've beat?

so an SE doesnt have lsd.....
I have an SE and both my tires spin out when I do a burnout.
I suspect I have a welded diff though because I hear chatter when I make slow turns, and when it rains.....damn thing likes to slide alot with just a blip of the throttle.
