Blown front or center differential???

My car has essentially turned into front wheel drive. There is no power going to the rear wheels. When i punch the gas in boost it wheel hops and shakes the entire front of the car. It drives fine out of boost but feels front wheel drive.

Does the Front Diff have to be changed or the center diff or both? The car has a built shep stage 2 transfercase with stock differentials. I have done no hard launches recently either.

A buddy of mines car did a similar thing the viscous coupler siezed up over heated the center diff bearings and cracked the transfer case housing almost in half. It would bind up and stop out of no where. We though he may have had water in his brake lines causing the stopping out of no where problem then it popped and we found the problem lol.
