Anybody using these LSD in a Porsche 911 with power?

Been using one on the track since 2013 with my 915/3.6L track car.
Great straight line braking from high speeds.
Due to design, they like dinosaur oil with No LSD friction modifiers needed.

I have one in my stock 82 SC track car and like it. It’s predictable and smooth. I don’t feel the same straight line braking stability as in my 930 with factory LSD. That feels like a parachute is deployed but many other differing factors in set up in play as well.

I have 12K miles on one in my track car with no problems. Even though it doesn't lock on decel, I have no braking stability issues.

For clarity, call it what it actually is .. a TBD.

I think this is the most telling feedback you will get on the Wavetrac product. I always tell people that if you've never had a performance differential in a 911, anything is going to be a game changer. Even with all the traction a rear engine design gives it, having the drive wheels work as a team makes the car just that much more potent off the line and out of a turn.

It's the braking side that is where one really can start to sort out one versus the other, if people are comparing designs and/or manufacturers.

For a recreational user, any differential will be a huge upgrade. For a racer, where every tenth of a second and every mph of corner speed matter, there's a difference worth exploring before buying.
