A very very good diff, silent and extremely progressive, is Carbonetic. They do have it for 996TT. I run it in Formula Drift at 100/100 (350Z TT) but since it is so progressive it is not behaving like it, it goes by the driving situation and your throttle usage = the car is very fast (true 100/100 makes drift cars slow).
When we're manouvering the car around the pits/tight spaces, there is absolutely no chattering or jerkiness with Carbonetic (which I was fed up with before - and I will never go back).
I had 2nd highest entry speed in Vegas (86mph, top was 87mph) and it is much thanks to the diff being seamlessly progressive during the section after this entry, it can't be done unless you have almost no lock on release. http://www.vimeo.com/5649520
If you don't like drifting that's ok, what I am describing is that the diff and the diff setup is an extremely deciding factor for the ability to regain grip quickly, which enables me as a driver to put in the most extreme angles and speeds and yet recover to stay on the line. The diff importance is in other words amplified in drifting compared to grip racing.
For grip applications, the Carbonetic allows maximum traction out of any turn since it is so smooth and progressive, it does not have any engagement jerks, if loosing inside wheel grip it increases lock gradually without you even noticing. I would put no other diff in my 996TT - especially not if I used it mixed track/street. A chattering diff on street ruins the whole life with the car.

Great review. I really appreciate your feedback. I will look into it. I am using their triple carbon clutch. Looking for a clutch as well with higher torque /HP rating.
Thanks
