Default Is it possible to put a differential in a C4?

I know this is another one of those crazy/ financially irresponsible ideas of mine, but I wanted to know if it’s possible to add a differential to a 996.2 Carrera 4. I found this quaife differential but wanted to know if anyone here has done it or knows what it would entail/how would the Porsche e differential react to this.

I think what you're asking is if you can add a Limited Slip differential to an all wheel drive system. I don't know for sure, but I think by it's very nature "all wheel drive" is essentially a "limited slip" system for all 4 wheels. I've never seen a qualified and/or comprehensive answer to this question and have wondered about it myself for a while...

There was a lsd option for the Turbo and Turbo s. The lockup ratio was different than the c2 Lsd.

So the answer is yes, you can.

I don't know about the lsd you have linked to.

If you look at the fitment list on the add it specifically lists 911 C$ 1989-2005.
