Then you got bigger problems than you think...
See the FAQ stickies.
ALL TURBOS HAVE LSD's FROM THE FACTORY IF THEY ARE U.S. MODELS.

Here are pictures of the '94 and up Miata T1 helical, and the T2 helical.
They are exactly the same size.
The T1 is the original Torsen design, and used 20 gears.
The T2 is the newest Torsen design, and not only uses less gears, but is a hell of a lot easier to machine.

Subject: Re: Question about the FC torsen lsd you have for sale.
thanks for the quick reply but T2 torsen does not fit in to a na diff. Since the t2 runs a 8 inch ring gear and the na cars runs a 7 inch ring gear. ANd when did the t2 came with a torsen diff? i thought it was only third gens that had it? Again thanks!
You are mis-informed sir.
There is no difference between the 7" T1 to the 7" T2.
When I speak of T1, and T2, I am referring to the Torsen designation, NOT to anything to do with Mazda.
Go to www.torsen.com, and read up on them.
I have sold about 10 of each in the past year.

This is the E-mail apply i got from the guy that sells torsen LSDs online. I am not sure if he is correct or if he just thinks he is. On torsen's website there is two torsen under mazde. One for rx7 (unstated on what model) and one for miata. Did any one buy a LSD from this guy before? And does it work well? THanks!

"T1" and "T2" are model designations of the *Torsen*.
"T2" has NOTHING to do with the Mazda Turbo II.
Go reread the reply - it does state this explicitly.
Again, the LSD from the non-turbo and turbo CANNOT be swapped.
The physical size of the LSD's are different.

I understand what he said but i just want to share the e-mail with the forum. Has any one bought a torsen from this guy before? He has pretty price and he manage to get some pretty hard to get LSDs. Such as a honda torsen LSD. Thanks!

wow. biggest waste of my time reading this entire thread...
kind of a related question here. the Torsen LSD that came in some S5 TIIs in Japan (possibly the last FC infini only, not too sure), were those basically just FD torsens?
