So it is a cheap alternative to a proper lsd but its like anything you get what you pay for.

Your mistaken I'm afraid.
They don't have that effect, in fact the opposite effect. Go and jack up a VLSD equipped car and you will struggle to turn the wheel on its own.
If someone was to pratt around trying to drift all day then the viscous unit warms up. Its an energy absorber. Once its hot a worn unit won't have much resistance anymore. Just like butter.
Its a damn good modification. Its not geared towards drifting. If you want drift then spend £700 on a Nismo GT pro diff.
