ed, the uprgade of my old 85 ur-q to my current 20v ur-q was a major one with the 
20v being streets ahead in power, smoothness and handling.  torsen is responsible
for at least some of this imho.  fwiw, i am an extremely enhusiastic driver, and when
my cars get used, they get used hard.  the torsen has yet to catch me out, through
any number of power slides, handbrake turns etc.  can't say that of the old ur-q
when i'd neglected to lock the centre diff. i haven't taken the cars to the track
though, and probably won't (my preference is for specialised vehicles for that).

still, if you want to do it go ahead, you'll find no shortage of takers for your
torsen transmission me thinks from people who want to go the other way...
