Correct, There would be no requirement for you to order PTV if you wait for and install an aftermarket LSD. But you wont get the torque vectoring.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks!

 

Is there yet an aftermarket option?

 

At least in Canada, if you order PTV, you have to get PASM too. So you will save a lot more waiting for an aftermarket solution. Given the the 981 gearbox and LSD seems to be virtually identical to the 987.2 cars, it shouldn't be long. In all likelyhood the Guards unit fits, but someone will have to verify. The bias ratios are identical between the two cars, so the LSD is likely identical and it is Getrag MT6 in both cars. Splines and bearing may be different.

I couldn't wait, since winter will come before the aftermarket LSD I suspect. PTV is kinda handy on sharp city corners. I wouldn't have thunk it. COuld have lived without PASM, which lowers the car 10 mm, which is the antithesis of why I want the LSD (for snow).

 

If you want aftermarket LSD then don't order PTV now. I thought someone already make the LSD for 981 but I just can't quite recall who.

 

It was OS Giken, I believe. Distributed by Gbox.

 

^^That^^ I've dealt with Eric at GBox and he was really helpful. They've got what you need.

These guys are the way to go for an aftermarket Porsche LSD: Limited Slip Differentials | Guard Transmission

 

I assume these aftermarket LSDs are not compatible with PDK? If not, I would be interested as I didn't order PTV; the idea of using the brakes to vector the torque did not appeal to me.

 

That's more or less where I'm at. I'm past my config cutoff, so this is all largely academic.
