Ive heard of people running 450bhp on standard diff, gearbox and last for years. ive also heard people running 350bhp and breaking them straight the way. im guessing its all about how its driven i supose

A lot of people go for uprated diffs from like of Bara, but the MTX75 is the weak point as 4x4, not sure what the 4x4 lot do to improve this, perhaps uprate the internals? As said it's torque that does damage which you will have a lot of.

Im not sure what i am going to do now, i was only planning on getting a bigger turbo, head porting changing the cams and a 4 paddle cluch and a few other small things to get it to 400-450bhp as i already have management, injectors fuel pump etc, so i though if i throw a few grand at it i can get this done but if im going to need expensive gearbox and diffs etc im not wure what to do 
any advice?

Loz you drive like a bitch
you can have my freshly re built bara with a frozen shaft for £2750 and then you can drive round prettending your in a proper car
Just get on with it will you worry about the broken bits later
