"as far as efficieny goes yes the TORSEN is a much better LSD and works well and does not have to be rebuilt like a Clutch type Does.. also there is very lil tinkering with it.. unlike settin up the clutches on the TRD... butit was not built to hold retarded amounts of HP. but again why would it, the Stock IS comes with very lil HP. and the idea of ppl makin 600 -800rwhp on this car prolly was not floating around in the designers heads when they created this part.,hence the materials used may not be strong enough to hold it."
Correct. And the torsen should hold probably under 400HP, but that is pushing it. Don't quote me on the HP, but I've seen auto supra with torsen LSD and upgrade HP running with stock LSD w/o any problem.

isman, I hope it holds for you too, but IMO there is no chance it will hold. Fairuza already blew his apart with similar horsepower numbers. I am with you though, I hope it holds too. Its funny, the hard part about going for the real big hp is that you must have a cash backup just in case parts fail. If things break, it is normally not cheap when you are making 400+ rwhp.

it might hold but over 500rwhp I dont think it will hold for too long... I have 2 rears now.. one in the car and one I am messing around with... that is something I learned the hard way on.. I would get a 2nd just in case...and at least if you break it you have something to throw in until you get yourself a TRD LSD
