Wavetrac LSD street manners?

I’m considering installing a Wavetrac LSD while I have my R53’s motor out. For those of you running one, how does it act on the street while daily driving? Is it noticeable during slow speed, tight turns?
Is it still smooth or lurchy, jumpy while torque tries to transmit to each tire?
Have you noticed the front end trying to push when turning on wet roads like the diff is locked?
My only experience with lockers and LSDs is with rock crawlers and I wouldn’t want that for a daily driver.
Thanks for your input!!!

Does this timing chain look stretched?

My son and I are replacing the timing chain cover/oil pump in his R53 due to persistent low oil pressure. I’ve bought a cryo timing chain set since we’re in there, but I’m wondering if this chain has been replaced recently before we bought the car. I’m not sure what it looks like new so I wanted to get a more experienced opinion. Here’s an overall pic showing the guides and a closer pic of the tensioner:
