Be very careful quoting torsens in racing.  Torsens didn't run until 1984.
Early Urq's used either lockers locked, or no diff at all, just locked 50/50.
The rest of your Torsen "used" doesn't have documentation.  If you look up the
specs of all the cars since 1981, you will find only references to Torsens
spec'd as : "Torsen or Locker or..." amongst several "used".  The only real
documentation of Torsen is in the S1, that was supposed to be the ace in the
hole.  And quickly died, never really accepted.  

Posting this up really is misinformation.  Anyone is welcome to provide
documentation of torsen use.  To say it's limited, would be an understatement,
since few really looking into this in detail, find much.  If you know
something more, please do direct us, Greg.  Right now, you are not correct in
your assumptions of torsen use.  Your family so noted.

I believe you are combining torsen with awd.  Not the same sir.
