hi delco,
MRC are carrying out the works, all started due to tc failure in gear box and just got carried away.
been away a long time but since there's no specs to go by there's been a lot of one off work, and that takes time.

what gearbox are they fitting for you?
The only one I can think of that would stand some chance of that power is the B7 RS4 box?
Is that the one?
I have to say if my box packed in (or should I say when my box packs in!) i would definatly go for that conversion.
Matbe not the 800Bhp though! wife would kill me!!

I have spoken to doug about this before. I believe they are using a b5 rs4 box.
