It's a limited slip differential which directs power to the wheel with the most traction, definitely necessary if you track it and I would consider it necessary if you plan to drive it in snow. Also good for resale.

It is an option that should have been standard on all manual transmission turbos. It's "relatively" inexpensive in the grand scheme, and would probably hurt your resale without it.

My dealer originally said if I dont race I dont need it.

I asked around and decided I couldnt live without it because if I didnt get it the first thing I would be asked when its time to sell... "Do you have Limited Slip?" I could just see the car not selling without it.

It was so reasonable I didnt want to take the chance.

I d get it if I were you. Same goes for the Chronos Option.
