Default LSD?

I know it means "Limited Slip Differential" but is it really worth it?? I am thinkin about turboing my teg rs and i heard that turbo tegs are horrible for traction. So is it a good idea to get an lsd??? Will i really notice the difference??

Yup! Think about it, with all that power going to "only 1 wheel"...and then if that power were distributed to 2 wheels?

couldnt hurt!

An lsd is essential to getting the power down on any turbo car.

and look at it this way... when you roast first, second and part of third WITH both wheels spinning... smoke rolling out the wheelwells AS your PASSING the mustang or camaro next to you.... imagine how they will feel seeing that AS you PASS them...

dont forget a good set of tires.... i had the crappy stock tires on and could break em loose downshifting to third on the freeway at 80... so get good tires..

quaife or kazz are good choices..

Does anyone have experiance with Phantom Grip LSD add-ins?
I have been told many different opinions regarding their effectiveness...
If they work it would be a very cost-effective way to go.
