Question Which turbo LSD? LSD or Viscous

Hey Guys,

I have a turbo conversion, pushing around 300hp. The LSD that came in the shell was a Torsen type, from what, I have no clue. All i know is that I grenaded it recently. I hated it, and wanted to swap it out anyways so it works. The damn thing would never let the rear end slide out. Once a tire started spinning, it would limit the torque on the wheel with traction. I build cars to be terrifying, not safe and in control. So I know i gotta get a better lsd in there, I'm trying to decided between the S4 and S5 styles tho, I loved the clutch type lsd I had in my 83. I've never had any experience with viscous types? I've read they fail easier. Which differential will let me drive like a moron; doughnuts and understeer?

I would go with a clutch type if you want to do that kind of stuff.

I didn't realize I should spend all this time, effort and money building a setup capable of decent power just to be able to spin the tires and go no where. Please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks guys, I'll look for a S4 Diff.
