torsen in Coupe GT? [was: 200q20v gearbox 016?]

[auditude at get.net]

Hello,

When I sold my first Coupe GT, the new owner said that he was
interested in putting in a torsen diff into its tranny.  He
acted like it was bolt-on, using a diff from another model.

Is this possible?  If so, which torsen is able to fit into the
tranny, and what modifications are needed?

Thanks,

Ken
