wont work with a torsen/quaife diff. i have the torsen and it will act as a open diff if there is no torque to bias.

either turn wheel and hit the gas hard and see if it spins or take out the passenger axle and look at the diff... if you see a pin going thru the middle its the stock diff.

not the most fun but you will know for sure
