I run with it on for safety most of the time. If I get on it hard from any gear 1-4, I have to turn it off or it will cut power to the wheels.

depends on what you are doing. if you are doing straight line highway rolls or dragstrip racing OFF is the way to go. If you are driving in the hills with lots of turns, cliffs and mountain rock faces, psm could save your life.

I got Tial A28s in and new clutch is ready. So tried to drive around town for fun. When I hit it little hard on 2-3, sometime it shuts power. Any trick?

Please be careful, PSM will not only save your life but others lives as well. If you turn it off, be prepared to loose all control. I only turn mine off when I'm running sticky tires since I had a little scare. I was lucky, but the car will come around on you very quickly.

Is there any LSD option for 4wd tt? Could the one for rear wheel drive work fine in 4wd system?

Mpsuk is infamous around these parts
I find it difficult to have much fun with psm on, very intrusive but unless your realy pounding the car i see no reason to turn it off. Also in the wet i rarely turn off just out of caution. My car is still awd and that may help make it more contolable

I'm sometimes chirping/burning and sliding all four, with PSM off would I be boiling the rears? Now you guys got me curious. It is a huge difference with my Cayenne T, converts it to race mod with a lot higher RPM's

With AWD, you can drive fairly aggressive and the risk of spinning is minimal. If you are RWD and PSM off, you will likely end up facing the wrong way, and hopefully not at an inopportune time or place...
