From experience thats the noise a tight diff makes in a front wheel drive car at slow speeds at full lock. So Id say its normal, are you using the correct oil?

Thats one thing I dont know, you will have to find out the manufacturer of the diff and go from there

you have to match the diff with the gearbox....if you are running a standard wrx gearbox the gearing in the diff won't match up.....keep running it that way and it won't be long before it goes bang.....
