Here is the email kaaz sent me awhile ago:

Hi Derrick,
We just confirmed with Toyota and figured out that the
AE92 front drive Corolla unit will fit your car (2007 yaris sedan). The part number is
DBT1621. This unit will also fit the Scion XB/XA and Yaris Coupe.
Best Regards,
Ray / Kaaz USA

In stock, by far the BEST LSD made!
I have one of these in all of my cars, just waiting for my clutch and flywheel before I install in the Yaris.

I am a dealer for Kaaz. Interested? -- PM for pricing.

An LSD would be a great modification!

Kaaz is a great unit, but I must agree with a couple of other folks on here that Quaife would be the way to go. Great daily driveability (you don't even know it's there), and it hooks up just fine while tracking. On top of that, Quaife warranties the unit for life, even when used in a racing application. I used a Quaife in my B18 powered Civic for 3 years of daily driving and countless track days without a single problem. 75,000 miles without having to change a clutch was nice, too.

Like the name suggests, it limits the amount of difference in speed and torque between wheels. It means that some torque gets to both wheels even when one wheel has less traction than the other.

I have one on the Miata and having driven one without LSD in my experience it helps you get around corners quicker.

Does there have to be a negative? I suppose the expense and inconvenience of having it installed, and the fact that it is mechanically more complex and therefore (potentially) more troublesome might be seen as negatives.

But I am no expert, think I will let the mechanical gurus elaborate further.

I doubt your going to see miraculous harder or harsher shifts - its not like you installed a shiftkit in an auto, or a heavy duty clutch. It just helps to distribute power to both front wheels rather than just one. My EG civic coupe with a b16 swap had a limited slip, it cuts back on traction issues like wheel hop and torque steer compared to vehicles without it.
