It does, however, generate considerably more heat; if used in situations of
continual heavy use (e.g. open-track events, racing) diff temps can be
80-200deg hotter than an open diff, and a cooler and pump may be needed.

Still, it's good to hear torsens and quaifes are compatible with ASC+T,
presumably with DSC as well - now, is one available for the E39 540?
