How do I know if I have TorSen diff Miata?
Turn the wheel at full lock which ever direction you are most comfortable doing donut/drifts. Punch it in first and let the tail kick out. If you can keep it kicked out while bliping the throttle on and off its a torsen. If the minute you let off the gas it snaps out of the donut its a tragic open diff.

What is the torque bias ratio of the Torsen differential on Miata?
If a spool is installed and the car is on a lift, the wheels will not turn unless the driveshaft is free to rotate. The wheels always turn in the same direction and speed. There are two types of Torsen (TORque SENsing) differentials. Both are used on the Miata. The torque bias ratio in either case is about 2.5 to 1.
