Default my focus mtx75 boxe diff exploded

I managed to explode my diff in my focus

Dont know why it happend but i thought thease box's are supposed to take 350 bhp and launch at pod over and over.
I only have a 1.8 on bike throttle boddies and mtech v4 that revs to 7300 maybe it didnt like harsh gear changes with the focus rs clutch

This is the 2nd box that has exploded on me the last one was the original ib5 looking one and spat its diff out all over the floor at the traffic lights in the rush hour traffic and i and the traffic couldnt move

It has the early version of the mtx75 not the focus rs type (the cable arrangement is different)

I see lots of diesel box's with the cable brackets at the back like mine and was wondering if the gear ratio's are much different compared to a 2.0 petrol box?

and are (mk3?) mondeo boxes the same?
and if i get a later type box can i put my selector box on it to make my cables fit?

while im at it im going to drop in a st170 lump that i have had in my posession for a few months so roll on 8k rev limiter

cheers
