Has anyone tried a slight widening of front track to aid turn in on these?
i don't thinks so intentionally, but i am sure there are people who have fitted wheel spacers if that is what you mean, not sure how wide you can go without modifying the front arches.

Heh, thread revival reminded me... I have some pictures for those who like to see things visually.
Actual unit beside standard centre diff.

A couple of pictures from the web of what it looks like when taken apart. A work of art almost, just look at the size of the gears! 4 planet gears of that length should hold some serious torque.
As you can see from the pictures, the outer housing (connected to the final drive inside the gearbox) is connected to the planet carrier, the annulus is connected to the rear drive and the sun gear is the front drive.
In this manner, when there is a speed difference between the front and rear wheels, effectively the annulus and sun rotate in opposite directions (or at least different speeds) and the planet carrier continues to freely turn at whatever speed.
