With ex-plod butchered wiring, you need to find the wire. It will likely be behind the radio/switch area somewhere, else you need to run a new wire to ecu.

The ABS and Engine ECU has the capability, and it can't be disabled as a feature, so it should be do-able

wouldnt the TC sort of cancel out the effect of the LSD though? :-/

No.  They compliment each other to reduce wheelspin.

If you want LSD for drifting, thats different.

Not for going faster round corners its not.  Fastest way around any corner on tarmac is with the back following the front ;)

For RWD fun, thats different

Just trying to imagine the combined effect.If one wheel is losing grip the LSD transfers power to the other one,if the TC is reducing power to that one at the same time because it senses wheelspin.......sounds a bit messy?

Post 1998 ABS/TC will try to apply the brake to the spinning wheel (only), so similar intention as LSD, hence why they work well together (to stop wheel spin, again, I'm not talking about the fun element here)
