Exclamation Oops I Did It Again................!!

I dont know if its some kind of devine intervention , but something seems intent on preventing me from tuning for boost higher than 5 to 8 psi . After my T70 turbo "locked up " , wrong ( hot plugs ) destroyed the rear rotor housing along with two of the three HURLEY seals ,then the electrical problems (ignition and fuel injection ) , then the whole HURLEY seal failure thing followed by a complete failure of my clutch release bearing and last but not least yesterday I DESTROYED my diff yet again , but this time I did not launch at 7000RPM I was just doing some "spirited " driving and then BAM !! , no movement.
I have since aquired a diff set from a series 4 TURBO 11 ( that worked flawlessly on that car @ 450+ RWHP runnin 11's before the ring gear gave out ) and started the install into my 3rd gen housing , I think this was done by VOSKO , every thing fits perfectly , except one of the axle half shafts is too long and doesnt go right into the diff , anyone know the fix for this ? , can the TURBO 11 axle assemply work in the 3rd gen too ?.

you are talking about the axle stub if it doesn't fit you have a problem with the diff
