Are you sure you've got the correct rear diff ratio for the box you've fitted?

Sounds like your viscous center diff isn't too happy. I have the same issue and a replacement waiting to go in but its not too bad and moved house so haven't got around to it.

Front and rear wheels travel at different speeds when turning corners and the viscous center diff is supposed to slip to allow this but they don't last long if you're keen on donuts.

The STi 5 should have a 4.44 diff front and rear with 1.0:1 drop gear.
First thing to do is drop the oil from the rear diff and remove the alloy diff cover.
Look for stampings on the outer edge of the crown wheel. Something like 40:9 ie 4.444.
Now check the pinion actually has 9 teeth.
A torch, rag and typex or similar makes the job easy.
Come back to me when you have done these checks if you want more assistance.
