Yeah,
The title does say I have one for sale. I'm attempting to purchase one for my car. My five speed box is TRASHED. My trans builder told me that he could not build a 951 box as strong as a stock 968 box.
Most 968 boxes did not have LSD's. I'll just add one.

I paid $3,500 for my 6-speed LSD and another $300 for the shift linkage separately. Getting the speedometer to work was a real pain.
Apparently, in the early 6-speeds they had an issue that was corrected in the later models. When purchasing you need to ensure you have a later model. I had mine installed two years ago and have forgotten what the issue was at this point.

they changed the LSD from a clutch to a torsen early on so most 968 LSDs are torsens which i am not sure are as good on the track as a clutch LSD.

In one of the 968 books I was reading, they cited the torshen system as being an improvement over the 951 clutch system. I will see if I can find it and share it with the group.

No.

I thought a Turbo S box was as strong as you could get OEM wise.

A quaife TBD is about 1300. Not sure what the GT TBD is, but from what i read the GT LSD is a lot more $$.
I think the newer LSDs work braking and accellerating. Not sure how that works on our old cars that dont have PSM, and many not even ABS.
Im looking for a 968, and the premium for a "LSD" which is really a TBD is not much less than a quaife. so for the same money i can get a newer, supposedly better quaife and then pay to install it. the savings in getting a closer car may make it worthwhile.
