His statement is no assurance of axle strength when comparing it to your setup.
You are talking 2 completely different animals.
At best a strong NA 2.5L is putting out around 160-170 FWTQ compared to a turbo's 230-270 FWTQ. Not even remotely in the same ball park!
Rick from Torsen stated the stock axles break at ~15% more torque then the stock diff can handle. That's not saying much for their strength!
I'd be getting upgraded axles before I spent a penny on new rubber.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
