The standard borg warner diff lasted about a month behind my VR4 conversion. Seemed to be holding up ok, then one night i was on my way home from work, gave it a bit of a squirt exiting a corner and it went bang. Completely destroyed the center. I can spin the axles or input flange by hand and nothing else turns at all.

This was with the standard 14" tyres (175's i think??) that are god knows how old. Something with a bit of grip would put a heap more load on it and kill it even quicker.
