Im going to bring it to school and weld it back then LPI it for cracks with the zyglo we have at school then im going to weld some gussets were this thing broke.
Is this a comment place for these to brake and also any reason why they brake? I was only on 5 psi when this broke coming off a stop sign.

Did the diff come out of a car that was involved in a big frontal wreck? If you just got the diff from a dismantler, and it came from a car that was wrecked in the front, I bet it was cracked when you put it in.
The only way those things break is from big frontal impacts, or slamming the PPF over curbs over and over again.
FYI, the 2nd gen N/A FC housings bolt right up and don't have that little notch. You just have to use a Miata bushing set.

I'm going to post this piece of advice again:
If you dont want the diff to break at the notch, grind the material on the sides of the notch so it's a smooth curve instead of a sharp notch.
