yeah, get the install kit, but you'll still need the speedogear because 9 times out of 10, the speedogear breaks as they are working on the differential.
you might not need to get the install kit and save yourself some money, if the garage that is installing it has the parts already. like p-tuning told me that if i want to have them install an lsd, they already have all the parts needed, i'd just have to bring the lsd itself.
and yeah, the lsd helps ALOT from what i've heard. it doesn't make the launching the car fool proof, but it is alot easier.
and while your at it, save some money on labor and install the clutch, flywheel and lsd at the same time.

are you kidding? it is totally worth getting! with your turbo plans...yeah, you need one more than most!
put it to you this way, p-tuning charged $750 to install a clutch and flywheel, and only another $250 to install the lsd. trust me, it will make the car launch alot better. not fool proof, but so far those that have it love it.
