Any interesting technical infor on the E-Diff?
my own curiosity has had me searching for who makes it, technical drawings, cutaways, etc. is it a Haldex unit? ZF? or has GM done it in house? any interesting info, tech papers, etc would be appreciated.

Neither of the companies you have listed.
Don't think you'll find any drawings.
There are some cutaway pics floating around. Maybe on edmunds? Not sure.
It's a electro-hydraulically actuated wet clutch that allows the car to go from an open diff to a spool in ~ 100 ms.
Fun stuff.

I'm wondering how much adjustment of torque transfer the unit has. Does it just fully lock and fully unlock (ON or OFF)? Or can it also continuously vary the amount of torque going to each wheel, like you would find on cars advertised as having torque vectoring?

The eLSD is independent of the gearing, meaning mechanically it wouldn't get in the way of changing the rear end gears. As to the impact on the vehicle controller, I'm not sure.
As far as aftermarket goes, there are a few things I could think of. As to whether or not anyone is working on any - I don't know.
What would be technically possible at least, that I could see being entertaining, would be a spool mode for the drag strip or general hooning. Also, a drift mode would be nice

I don't have any pics, sorry.
