Default Torsen Diff

Is anyone driving/racing with the Stasis torsen center diff? or does anyone personally know of anyone running with it? If so, what are the handling characterisitcs like? im thinking about gettin one cuz the car understeers like crazy, and im gettin slaughtered on the smaller, tighter, more technical auto-x courses. anyone have any useful input?

Note: * the "Quattro" mentioned here is the traditional Torsen system marketing in the name Quattro. That includes all Quattro models until the arrival of Audi TT (which uses the Haldex system). Since then the name Quattro becomes a marketing trade mark rather than indicating the actual mechanism. At the time of writing, all Audi Quattro models, excluding the Golf-based A3, S3 and TT, still employs the traditional Torsen system.

It helps a TON! Turn in is so much faster & more controlled, when you hit the gas, it seams to track out nicer.
IMHO, the part is way underpriced for what it does! This is on my friends STG 3 car, so he also has a bit more power then me.

Yes, it will reduce understeer a lot!

If you are competing, get some really nice coil overs, trans brace, and some good R compound tires. Your set!
