quick question about lsds

So i was just wondering on mazdatrix they talk about the loud noises that are caused by the 1.5 lsd. Just wondering if that happens with the torsen lsd and if the wpc coating that mazdatrix offers is done by them or is it offered through kaaz?
thankssss

torsen lsd and clutch lsd are 2 different set ups. are you talking about the noise coming from the mazdatrix clutch type? sorry if this question sounds dumb but im just clarifying.

if you are talking about the mazdatrix clutch type lsd then your answer is that the noise problem won't happen with the torsen. obviously the clutch type uses a bunch of clutches and springs. the fricton from those is what will create noise. there are was to dampen it out. now the torsen on the other hand uses worm gears to limit slip. by useing those gears it one last longer is more reliable and quieter. go with torsen if you can afford it.
