Its a good idea, but that looks like mostly driver to me.

Audi has done torque vectoring stuff for quite awhile

Drop in the carbonetic 1.5 lsd's in your car and forget about anything else.
If I ever buy and build another Subaru. Its going to stay stage II and get the LSD's swapped out. Add some brake rotors,springs and be done.

i saw very minimal stuff from them at Hypermeeting @ Tsukuba just basic stuff but nothing seemed to be advertised for stuff like this.

Ok, thanks. what I don't understand is why the didn't develop something for the auto x'ers. I would deff buy somthin that could help out like that.

I don't like how the test was performed with a steady throttle. Adding power while sliding already makes the car more stable. AWD needs engine power to work correctly. The only benefit might be durring an understeer situation, but a good driver wouldn't get himself into that senario so deep that lifting off the throttle a little wouldn't correct the line.

For Autocross its more important to be able to make the back end step out on command. The ATD would prevent that by design.
For a pure Auto-X, you honestly would probably be better off with a RWD conversion

the torque vectoring in New audi s4 makes them you understeer way less and oversteer much easier
