Am I expecting too much from my AWD system?

center torsen will distribute torque to the end of the car with traction... in the case of one wheel off, edl try to make sure the end with less traction will balance it left/right over the open diff, but that end will have very little of the torque going to it.
with TWO wheels off, the center diff will send power to both ends and ALL of the engine torque will go into the brakes.
not good.

I suspect you might be right but you're the first I've seen to say "best mod".
Also, most people seem to be using these mods on the track. I've heard little feedback on how well the perform in snow & ice. But I can imagine. :-))

its got a steep entry, so i have to go in at a really weird angle to avoid scraping... before the LSD, the EDL would cook my brakes every time i went into my garage.
.. its the day to day mods (not the power/handling stuff) that i have grown to appreciate

the torsen does a very good job of sending power to the rear if i have traction there... and the LSD does just that.
front LSD is overkill imo, and might even hurt handling by adding even more power-on understeer.
