Mark- why is that? I would have thought that a proper aftermarket job would be better than a factory LSD? Or is it just that the Torsen is easier to live with?

The Torsen is a completely different style of LSD and in my opinion better than any other. It is an American design and I assume Toyota buy from them or make them under license...either way an extremely unusual thing for Toyota to do which indicates they rate the Torsen very highly. Here's a link to a site that give a reasonable description of the different diffs around;
