C'mon, if it acts as an open diff at all times, it wouldn't do anything to transfer torque.

So, yes, technically Torsen "slip" but that misuses the word slip. Torsen always differentiate, they do not lock. However, if the wheel with less grip still grips then the Torsen "locks" completely, transferring all the "spare" torque.

So, first you say that the Torsen does not lock, then you say that it "locks" completely? WTF?!

Torque transfer is immediate. They are not progressive, they bias torque at a fixed ratio all of the time.

The Torsen does lock up PROGRESSIVELY with applied input torque. Also, the clutch type locks up progressively with applied input torque.

Torsen are unaffected by different wheel sizes. Completely unaffected.

Of course with different wheel sizes there is constant slip, and the faster you drive the greater the torque, and consequently the greater the heat and wear due to friction, which is the mechanism by which the Torsen works in the first place...
