I dont quite understand what you mean by "what it gives" but yes, the torsen was the standard differential used by the FD.

what I mean is that is the torsen run both wheel at once, or is one wheel turns then causing the other to turn?

Torsen I believe makes both wheels turn at once (every FD I've seen does it) and i think it's the viscous that one turns and then the other starts to turn. At least that's my understanding. Could be wrong tho.

Somewhat. The torsen effectively acts as an open diff under normal circumstances. When theres uneven torque to one axle, depending on the torque bias ratio of that torsen (TBR, which I believe the FDs is near 4:1) it will send 4 times the torque to the wheel with traction.

Check out, howthingswork.com (I think thats it?) for a more in depth explantion as well as torsen.com.
