I don’t really want to step on anyone’s foot again and I have not gotten my Boxster S yet. Therefore I don’t know much about Porsche.
In general, one can determine if car has a LSD or locker is by jacking up the axle and spin the tire. If the opposite side of the wheel spins the same direction, it has LSD or locker. If it spins in the opposite direction, it is an open diff.
For a high performance car like Porsche, I am not sure if LSD will be helpful. I think it will be extremely dangerous when cornering. The LSD will prevent the car to turn. The mechanical LSD (friction) has a long (delayed) activation time; it will not help a Porsche much. As a result, the Porsche will just fishtail all over the place. I think using the stability control makes more sense to me. The ABS can modulate the brake in microsec interval while LSD works in a few sec interval.
My 2 cents.
