Default Torsen LSD? 2005 TL 6 Spd

Buying an '05 TL 3.2 Engine and Trans to swap into a '96 Teg.

The seller says it's 6 Spd, so I did some research. I know that Wikipedia isn't the most trusted of sources. However, it states the '04 - '08 TL's with 6 Spd transmissions came with Torsen LSD.

Can anyone chime in with some opinions on this type of differential?
How does it compare to a helical LSD?

Cheers.

I don't know a whole lot about the differences, but I did go to high school with one of the inventor's grandchildren.

"Torsen" and "helical" describe different attributes of the same device.

All OEM J motor LSD are both Torsen and helical. :-)
