Rear End?!

Rear End?!
HEY, i have a 90 miata with the 1.8 swap done already. I am about to have my turbo kit installed soon but i would like to know what would the best rear end to use? I heard the one off any 1.8 is okay up to a certain point and and rx-7 rear end is good but is not so great for holding up to torque.
So, what would be my best bet for a simple swap into my car? Would the 1.8 rear end be just fine?

250+ horsepower eaisly. youll only be at 190 ish, you really have no worries with your setup. Of course launching the car all the time will wear stuff eventually, but you should have no worries.
The 1.8 diff has suported over 400 hp before, so it is very strong.

oh...sounds pretty good!
i am planning on running around 6-8 pounds of boost to start, then if i feel like i want more ill probably push it to 10! dont think ill need to go more for now.
know of any other ways to get some more power out of the motor without forced induction?....maybe different cams or something?!
