First Track day with OS Giken LSD and extreme noise

I would remove the diff. Pull the cover and inspect the LSD just for the peace of mind.

Does not sound right to me either. How much glitter is in the oil?

Pics are my 1st differential oil change after OS Giken install.

Mine looked exactly the same after 1st change new 4.08 installed at the same time. Was super grabby (sensitive for lockup) for the first 200kms and clunky/poppy but settled in fine. Only hit 80 degrees C (24 c ambient) on the weekend track outings. I did my first oil change 2000kms after install before I hit the track. I would definitely do the figure 8 break in even though OS giken says it’s not necessary if I had my time again.
