Default Torque Steer

OK..Long story short.
I almost put myself in a Cruiser size ditch the other night. I was making a left turn and had noticed an approaching car from the left. Well, I miscalculated his speed (probably 90) and the next thing I knew, he was right there and me still across his lane. I hit the gas and got out of his way but what with a wet street and torque steer, I shot wide toward the opposite side ditch and wound up with my passenger side wheel hanging half in the air. I kept rolling and got safely back on the pavement.
What mods help to quell the massive torque steer on these Turbo GTs? Have any of you had any improvements when using harder control arm bushings? I may have damaged my right side bushing a while back when I bent a wheel against a curb. Tommy, has the Phantom LSD helped with torque steer on your PT?
I'm planning to call the Psi-fi guys to ask them some questions, too.
