Default Which differential to install?

Hi guys, my differential's pinion is broken so i'm about to buy a second hand OEM diff and replace it. However before i do this, i was thinking if it would be wiser to purchase an aftermarket differential. I've heard that OS Giken's make top differentials, however i am on stock power at the moment (i am supercharging it come Christmas period), Would this differential still work with stock power? Thanks

(P.S. This is the first time i have blown the diff, so i really have no idea what to do here)

I've had a great experience with the quaife LSD in my Corrado. They've been around forever and have proved themselves to be a quality company.

Depending on your power levels you're wanting the stock diff can hold at least 350whp fine provided you don't launch it. I've been at that level for ~15k miles now without issues. I will be upgrading soon though.

Most guys opt for the PuddyMod diffs (like Stage2) for under 500whp and then I think once you're above that people go to something like the FullBlown 8.8 conversion kit.
