2WD retrofitted with limited slip differential

[BenBeen]

Hi. I own a T6 TSI 2.0 110kW 6 speed manual gearbox 2WD campervan. I have an eibag lift kit installed and larger tyres (235/70R16), giving about 6cm more ground clearance . I am looking to improve traction for off-road tracks. Does anyone have experience with retrofitting the Quaife limited slip differential on the 2WD? Does it improve traction, how does it drive on normal roads, how about costs of the conversion? Please share your thoughts
Thanks

I have a Gripper plate diff in my mk1 Golf and an M-factory torque biasing diff in my Arosa. Coming from a rallying background, I regard the plate as the ultimate but it is absolutely not fit and forget. It crackles, bangs and wrecks CV's. The M-factory is pretty good and I love messing in snow and mud with it. Never got stuck even leaving the road backwards occcaisionally. I think diffs are a no brainer upgrade.
