Roma is beautiful. I have pics standing near where you were. Going again this week for a short confrence.
I saw some questions about the differential and power transfer with one wheel lifted and it reminded me of this article. I don't work there or anything, but I have bought one of their diff's for my race Mustang. They do a good job of explaining all what was being asked. Hope it helps.

yes, Rome always lets you feel something unique .. I had the same sensation when was working there for a few months, years ago

Yes, lol! I took a pic of that but it's on my main camera, and not my phone. I took this with my phone though. These were in the gift shops there. They said they were for good luck. Lol!

seems to me they somehow mated a spring pack to allow "coupling" of both axles even under no(vertical)-load on a certain axle.
while this could be "new" for gear-differentials, it is certainly anything new for classic "clutch" differentials: they also, usually allow for a certain amount of static coupling i.e. under no(vertical)-load on a certain axle.
While static coupling allows for traction even under no-load (i.e.when a wheel is lifted from ground ) as a rule, the higher the static coupling the more likely drivability (directionality) issues arise.
seems their device avoids these drivability issues to a large extent ...

indeed, as I already stated at the end of my former post, I think there are reasons to believe that our electronics already solve the no-load case even with just the stock open (non-LSD) differential.

in the end, as I am not sure Moser has a unit for our car,
it must be said that it's going to be a trade-off situation:
if you want the smoothest action of an LSD diff without incurring the limitations of an open diff, you will be happy with the Quaife unit (which, in fact, were originally designed to give front-wheel-drive cars the benefit of an LSd without compromising drivability.)

if, on the other hand you like the locking-in of a naughty/wicked (in italian we would say "cattivo" ..lol) differential .. then, go for a clutch style one

ahah... still remember the faces of our class girls.

here you can get a more educated view of what was already going on 2k years ago ..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_...nd_Herculaneum

Yes

The result from the install is better traction during acceleration or launch.

Same question here. I can't find shims in the EPC.
