Weight is loading up the right rear corner but I don't know if this is normal grinding or something wrong with fluid level or the diff is still super tight.

I will be changing fluids when I tick over 1000 miles this weekend however concerned about the noise after giving the car "some stick" and aggression.

The torsen in my Supra never protested this way but that could simply be it's well broken in and I never encountered it!
Thanks in advance.
Yeah I've gotten this too from time to time. I would hear a grinding noise then the TC icon in the middle flash. Is this normal when going through an aggressive turn?

P.S. Congrats on your '14 BRZ! I see that you're from SB too
