Default LSD options for 718 base cayman

Still on the fence about ordering another cayman or a 992 CS

but in the meantime I like to play with my base cayman

so wanting to know what options exist for this? Deman or others?

my 718 is the 2.0 w/ 6MT

completed the Softronic tune and soul turbo back and ohlins so want to add in the lsd.

M Ryan,
Check out Wavetrac. This ATB LSD is you answer. While the real pros prefer clutch style LSD, the problem is the clutch discs wear out in a few year use. The Wavetrac slider device allows the torque to transfer from the unweighted wheel to the outside wheel grounder wheel. So no power disruption in hitting the inside curb lifting the inside wheel off the ground. This LSD does have very good acceleration, nearly total lock up but not fully. This allows some inner wheel adjustment to the curve of the radius so not much understeer out from the apex. The same issue happens on declaration so no oversteer on trail braking.
Take a look at the Wavetrac web site. Its got a life time warranty as well

Will these LSD’s fit 718 Boxster S with PDK? Or any others option for PDK 718?

It manager- Please call wavetrac. It fits my 987.1 S just fine with a 6 speed manual. Wavetrac has the answers not me. Sorry. This LSD is a great assist as its geared not relying on clutches. A slider inside determines the thrust amount to the outside whee/tire. This meas that coming out of corners where the inside wheel/tire is unweighted, it has the potential to spin. The slider will transfer that torque to the outside tire. The Wave track also acts to stabilize the rear in in threshould braking, though not as much as the clutch style LSD do.

Wavetrac does not list the 718 Manual base, only the PDK for their LSD.

Mr. Deman - can you confirm that you have LSD for the 718 Manual base? Did not see anything listed on your site.

Thanks!

Rick, do you make one for a 2018 718 Boxster GTS 2.5L with PDK?

I am also interested in an upgraded LSD for my 2018 Cayman GTS with a PDK.

I believe I'm leaning towards to the Wavetrac...no clutches, nothing to wear out, simple, and more cost effective, as well.
