NA LSDs?

how many of your guys have properly functioning lsds for your s4 NAs? I just swapped one inplace of my old lsd and the new one doesnt work also.
Heres what Im doing.
Crank wheel to lock, rev and pop clutch. Let wheel countersteer. But the butt doenst swing around, its like it just spinning one tire.
With the car on jackstands and in 1st gear and idle I can easly stop one wheel from spinning and hold it. The both spin in the same direction too. Im just kinda tired of taking the diff out and back in. I seroiusly dont recomend swapping a na lsd in your car unless you know its working. Chances are it isnt. Well looks like im going with a Tii rear end.

If you want to know for sure that it works, go new. Cost, Quality, Convenience: chose 2.

My LSD works perfectly on my s4. But even still, I want to prep It up for a Turbo II Drivetrain and 100 wet shot of Nitrous. More to follow.

if both wheels dont spin simoteniously then isnt that the point of an lsd. So when you corner they can go at different speed?

Want the best for road / track racing mazdatrix torsen $699.

for drag you'll want a clutch style Kaaz or something, which would invovle switching to the TII rear end and 1/2 shafts and driveshaft.

Its for drifting. I cant really afford to modify the car for serious drag. There isnt any real roadracing here, so drift.
Even though both wheels are spinning simultaniously the car isnt putting power down to both like it should. With the clutch pack it should fight to drive both wheels the same speed until you over power the clutch pack. I shouldnt be able to easly over power it. Im going to use a TII viscous I have sittin around.
