8 inch differential questions ( GX71 content )

How's it going, got a couple of questions for the turbo MK3 8 inch rear end guys.

I purchased a 85 GX71 mark II GT a couple of months ago, the GX71 comes with the 1g-gte twin turbo engine and the 8 inch LSD 2 way differential, to my knowledge my car is the only one in the states and finding parts for the 1g-gte is impossible so I'm concentrating on all the little things she has wrong like interiors and rear end.

The rear end needs inner and outer boots on both sides and I know I'm gonna need some wheel bearings so I compared on toyodiy my differential and the turbo MK3 differential and its the same part number, now that I'm gonna buy differential parts should I get oem parts or aftermarket and what parts should I upgrade for better performance.

My goals for the car is to swap a 2jzgte by next year and achieve 500hp so anything I can do to the rear end now to hold the 400 to 500 hp would help.

Thanks, here pics of the car.
