Default Torsen differential

I just saw that the 2018 gs350 offers a Torsen diff as a option!!!

What are your thoughts in swapping this from a donor gs f to a 2015 gs350 fsport?

While I love the thought of a Torsen in a GS, especially my AWD, with all the nannies installed in these cars, I'd want to be sure that the ABS/Traction Control/Vehicle Stability were all capable of dealing with it.

If the differential is the same, the swap would be minimal. I can do one in an afternoon in my Buicks or my friends pickup truck.

Remember all the folks doing Supra pumpkin swaps in the 2GS?

Maybe that time has come again...$500 sounds like an amazing deal.

That is the price for adding that option. It will be 2 or 3 times that over the counter.
