Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

I read that the 997.2 and 991.1 PDK with open diff used the same differential.
Leading evidence: 'Use same differential' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace open differential in a pdk' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Suggestion
We do not make an LSD any longer to replace an open differential in a PDK.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Have been taking my 997.2 c2s to tracks a couple of times, have started to feel the lack of LSD on the car is limiting me. Last weekend on a skidpad I can hardly get the rear end out if at all.
What are the good LSD options for the car?
I went with a wavetrac. But that was mostly because I was looking for a maintenance free option. If you’re chasing lap times, you need a clutch type setup.
Ah. No. I’m not fancy like that. I’m in a cable throttle 996 that I have modded so far I can’t even remember what a stock 996 was like. But, about your endeavor. Google a pic of a Pokémon cutaway. It still has a ring and pinion with a planetary gear differential. Honestly I’m surprised PDKs don’t have some fancy eDiff or something like that.
Well they would know best. I read that the 997.2 and 991.1 PDK with open diff used the same differential. But, I’ve also read that bearings can be a problem to find for the install.
We make a replacement LSD for the factory LSD as found in cars with PTV.
We do not make an LSD any longer to replace an open differential in a PDK.
Bearings still aren’t available for them, to the best of my knowledge, which was part of our decision to drop the product. All it takes is a clumsy mechanic who destroys a bearing to require an $18,000 replacement gearbox. That happened one too many times for me to make a part that could be implicated is so much financial pain.

Thanks for the color Matt!
I found a shop that make a LSD for PDK with open diff, so basically they would be recycling the oem bearing, and, there would be a potential to mess up the bearing in trying to reuse it?
