We will not be supporting the PDK gearbox with an LSD any time in the foreseeable future. Have you seen one of them out of the car? The factory LSD is smaller than a 901 differential. There's not enough room in there to get a proper LSD into that case. Without a well functioning LSD I don't think a PDK car would ever be competitive in a real racing environment. They make great DE track toys but we do not consider the current manifestation of the PDK gearbox race worthy.
I took it to my dealer and told them the LSD was shot. They had the car for a day and told me it works fine and is with in spec. WTF? LOL

This is what your inner plates look like:
Not very confidence inspiring and add in the fact that it's a zero preload unit and it's another piece of junk from OEM sources. Here's my whole thread on the subject, though it's talking about the Cayman it would apply to yours as well.

We are working on a service pack for your factory LSD, but it may be a little while yet. I hoped to have it to market before the snow melted but our sequential gearbox project got bumped up to the front of the R&D line and we've only got one engineer in house.
