Diff will last as long as you want it to. You beat on it by launching and powershifting it will not last long.

I think more people with boost end up changing out their clutch before their diffs.

Like we use to say in the Air Force, " there's is those that have , and those that will."

The diffs are weak and I have seen numerous cracked LSD caps and tore up pinions. Some on stock cars that launched 6-7k. Your best bet is not to drop the clutch and have it cryo treated. You can pull the axels out, the rear alum cap off, losen the bolts that hold the LSD in and cryo it.

You will have to replace the pinion seal but it is worth it.
