Yeah right on the Torsen diff...I know how it works compared to a clutch type...strangely it worked for me so far....cant remember that i changed something else except tyres.

The extra hp from the supercharge has made it a lot worse, but I'd only say it was more manageable before, but always a problem.

You really have to be carefull with applying throttle sometimes.
I can figure that with the torque of teh S/C it would reallly get annoying and loss of time out of corners
the bandaid is to comprise the setup to keep the wheels on the ground with enuf grip to keep the diff locked. you don't have to fully lift a wheel to get wheel spin. as you know.
I've fracked (bsg ftw) with the setup for years thinking I could work around it.
I can redesign the rear suspension or buy a diff that can keep the power on the road.
Diff is much cheaper.

Allstar battle of the admins?
The lift may never been encountered by a driver on street tires who doesn't AX. Lift doesn't really happen until R-tires or very abrupt turns. The lift can be readily cured by a stiffer front bar or removing the rear bar (or any combination of things, including new springs, to achieve the same affect).
Changing the rear to a plate style or an R Torsen doesn't do anything for the lift. That is a roll stiffness issue.
Doing both can increase traction significantly, but just changing th bar is the most inexpensive and may cure the "problem" outright.
