Mine has over 450bhp on standards cogs - Lasted about a year so far and its gets the sh*t kicked out of it on track regularly.
Probally lasted longer because of the on my T4 turbo

Think about it ,whats the point using a standard gearbox when you know it's going to shite itself after 330bhp your better off buying a uprated sport box to save all the hastle , i would say the rear diff would be ok that will last ,the front diff won't last either and normally when the front diff casing breaks it take the sump with it
standard stuff is ok standard car + 20% power increase any more than that they coulkd go anytime
if you don't change to uprated stuff it will be never ending story .it's not my money so i don't care i'm just trying to give you a bit of advice
a classic example look at YUMs c he is on his second box already how long has he had the engine in the car not long , he has also broken something else since
it's up to you

Uprated boxes are NO guarantee.
I know 2 people with bigish power cossies that have "proper" gear boxes and they
have had nothing but trouble with a particular make.
(Not up to me to disclose which box)
Problem is, when these uprated boxes go wrong its even more money to fix

Have been thinking about a power up grade but the cost of uprating to a stronger box diff is going to cost a packet.I know it the right way to go uprate everything thing but heard a few where running big bhp on standerd boxes.
I guess around at least 3k to uprate
What costs we looking at??
It `s a chance you take i suspose could last a year or a week
Only do around 3000 to 4000 miles a year most of the time takeing it easy do go mad now and again though
