I am sceptical of the benefits of an lsd and the factory traction control. Not saying that you are wrong but I would be doing some more research. Personally I think unless they are significantly cheaper than proper lockers they aren't worth it.

I'm not a big diesel fan myself but certainly not knocking them. I'm thinking engine conversion in the very long term anyway so the cheaper petrol model is more suited for me.
They are half the price of lockers. People say factory ESC works quite well, even with open centres. A torsen LSD changes the torque split from 50/50 to up to 20/80 when needed so it would require 1/5 **edit: 2/5 ** the amount of braking on the spinning wheel for the other wheel to hook in compared to an open centre. I upgraded the open centre to a helical LSD in my road car and it made a huge difference. Love it!
