Default How would a JDM ITR LSD hold up in a high horsepower GS-R?

I have a fully built LS/VTEC (~400-500whp) with a GS-R tranny. I can get a JDM ITR LSD with 2,300 miles on it for fairly cheap. My question is as follows: Does anyone have experience with this lsd in their higher horsepower car? How does it hold up and whatnot?

Thanks guys

no experience with ITR LSDs, but many people and shops don't recommend those LSDs with anything over 250wtq.

Im running one in my current setup, although i havnt had a chance to test it yet.
This will be primarily a street car, so i decided on the oem piece.
From what ive heard over the years, is they are capible of 300 and even 400+ hp
levels without problems in most cases. However, wheel hop seems to be what does
them in. Basically a fairly robust unit, but not able to handle shock as well as the
aftermarket LSDs.

It kinda like the OEM axle thing... some people run them forever without breaking them,
but others cant seem to keep them in one piece.

Id use a OBX lsd before i used the ITR lsd in a high hp application. Ive heard of them breaking with around 300whp - however i dont have first hand experience.
