Torsens only send torque to the wheel with the most grip if theres SOME torque on both wheels. The clutch type LSD can do it when there's no torque on the gripping wheel. This is how you can get an open diff on corner entry but an LSD on exit.

However, if you slightly touch the brakes while one wheel is slipping, you can get torque to the gripping wheel with a Torsen.
