Turbo Trans N/A Diff

I have an 86 gxl, and i'm swapping the engine and trans with a s4 13bt. I was thinking of getting a mazdatrix driveshaft that will allow the turbo tranny to connect to n/a diff. Will my rear end hold up? Not looking to make more than 300hp.

Depends on how you drive. Racing always creates more stress and pressure then driving like a 83 year old lady. It should hold up under 300 HP.

some old timer to the rx7 community simply told me to keep my traction shitty, and that will be the only thing that breaks.

To be safer you can always have your rear end gears cryo treated and coated.
