What are you going to use if for? Straight line driving or twisties? Dragstrip or autocross? Bagged and throwing sparks? Burnouts?

If you want performance on the twisty roads, then get the TRD clutch type LSD. If you want to do burnouts and drag racing and don't drive in the inclement conditions, get the Powertrax.

If turbo is okay for you (smog inspection not required) then wait for the URD Turbo. If you need to maintain some appearance of being emissions legal, then get the TRD supercharger, which comes with the smog approval sticker (of course any URD fuel kit upgrades are not technically legal, but they will typically not be seen in a smog inspection).

yah i dont have to worry about smog here and yah im thinkin ill wait for the turbo from urd case i wanna be one of the first to get it and tell you all about it lol!! but yah I will be doing a lot of daily driving on the highway with it however not too many huge turns and such here just strait roads so a powertrax may be the best however i do like the LSD so honestly im leaning towards the LSD plus that it will still do pretty good at the strip im sure at least better than single track!!

Think long and hard before installing a powertrax. It can be very anoying in normal driving. Things like parking, U-turns, and slow right and left turns suck. It is however really fun going around turns under hard acceleration. Put a traction bar into the mix like I have it the rear end makes lots of noises
