Default he blew up his stock 240,000 mile EDL diff, not the torsen
and he blew it up doing a 6k RPM clutch dump. luck is conditional

Default Here isn't here on the forum....
...but a guy in Colorado blew a Torsen up about a year ago. Dyno sheet for the car shows 448WHP and the rear diff came from a 117k mile V8.

Dry pavement, drag launch and !BOOM!, gear oil all over the road and a hole the size of a nickel in the side of the case.

He was running approx "600bhp, 6500rpm clutch drop".He doesn't think he would be in the 10's.
