I think it was likely the drop of the clutch at 5500 rpm that did it :-)
Nah, well maybe..
I will let Dave answer it, I just thought I'd add my useless info.

Do you think the 440lb-ft. of torque caused the failure?
I wonder what is the intended design limit of the Torsen diff?
Have you switched to a heavier-duty clutch-type diff? I like the Eaton electromagnetic diff that
is advertised in Mustang/Camaro circles- I wonder if that one can be adapted to an Audi application
if you have a custom housing.

SAE corrected figures were 440ish hp, and 440ish torque at the wheels. Because of the debate on correction factors, I ran it at a dragstrip at a lower altitude than Denver (2800ft)... based on the trap speed, the hp calculater indicated 455hp at the wheels.
I think it's safe to say "over 400 at the wheels."

Dave-
How much hp/torque are you running that killed your Torsen?
