    Depends entirely on use/abuse, condition of the diff and luck. I drifted a 4AGZE with T series (welded) for a few years. Diffs broke eventually (usually axles, but occasionally crownwheels). However for normal street driving it should be fine.

    The strength or lack thereof of T-series diffs has been discussed a fair bit, so if you have a good dig around you'll find alot more info and experience.
    I need a working 4AGE bottom end. Pref smallport GZE, but all others considered. Also complete motors.

    Funny thing with my T-series, would snap axles when it was SC, but chewed crownwheel and pinions when it was turbo...

    Mine Celica got ~350 hp and 450 nm torgue. diff was with KAAZ LSD unit. Toyo Proxes T1R tires... 195 60 14. never snap the the half shafts or anything. but i dont do banzai starts with clutch

    it can handle awesome power. but with sticky drag slicks and metallic clutch even a stock engine can snap half shafts or diff...

    so i say depends at clutch and user
