Default Torque steer question?

Just got my car running with new turbo (crx b16 turbo) seems to have a lot more power now. Just got introduced to torque steer and it scared the hell out of me.
I shifted from first to second and immediately the car pulls to the left then to the right and then back to the left again before straighting out. what the hell is this??

Is it because the tranny is not LSD??? and will getting an LSD tranny get rid of this??

It's mainly caused by unequal length axles. My crx always pulled to the right. My integra which has equal length axles still has torque steer, but not as bad as the crx.
I've looked around and some say lsd helps, others say lsd increases torque steer, so hopefully someone with exp can chime in here.

LSD should solve it. It better with my setup or I'll be pissed at spending the $800 for a Quaife.
