How did your T50 let go?

We've all heard that T50s can't handle a big power 4AG for long, but I want to know what actually fails. Stripped teeth? Split casing? Broken input shafts?
Thanks

We're talking naturally aspirated, right? How much power do you mean by "big power?" I think you'd have to abuse it pretty hard, and for a long time to break an input shaft, strip teeth, or split the casing  . Input shaft bearings seem to be the first thing to go with some hp through the T50. They're quite a tough box for their size, provided your not making huge torque in a heavy car, and don't drive it like its stolen.

I was thinking turbo or supercharged, maybe 150+ rwkw.
Just wanted to know how they usually go so I could look at ways of avoiding it.
