Only MAJOR hesitation on 4WD is the cost.
Can imagine I won't see any change from £10k to finish her properly once I add in (potentially) a bigger BBK, Coils, side engine mounts, rear bushes, another map, a bigger cooler, RFD, 3 1/2" decat downpipe and that's on top of a Hyprid turbo, WMI , all other supporting mods and whatever the 4WD convertion would cost......ohh and a respray.
:laugh:
Or........
Put that £10k into another car. :drinking:

RFD is a relatively cheap mod. You just need a bigger BBK if you're going to track the car. I don't think coils are mandatory. Good springs and good dampers are enough. You don't need WMI with a TTE420 to achieve 420 BHP. I think your 3'' BCS downpipe with sports cat can handle the TTE420.
I'd do the 4WD, then the TTE420, the TTRS LPFP, the 155 bar FPRV, RFD, the side engine mounts, the rear bushes and another map. If the IC was compromising the performance then you could sell your THS and upgrade to a Peron. :happy2:

All true enough but to get the best out of the Hyprid then swapping out the THS for a Peron, adding a slightly larger diameter downpipe (decated) and also AC removal will all aid the magic flow.
WMI is something Id need to look into futher.
My NQSBBK is at its limit with the power i currently have (even with the addition of the S3rear brakes), i wouldn't be happy running bigger numbers without bigger anchors.
Shoduchi:
It's not an easy decision, I know. :sad1:
Just not sure if you really need to have all those upgrades done to make the TTE420 achieve the announced 420 BHP. :confused:
I know they would be beneficial, just not sure if they're mandatory.

Wonderful ride mate :happy2:

I guess this car was all about passion and not costs. So, than, the same reasoning is behind the 4WD conversion also.
This car will be uniquie and that would be a very good reason to go for it.
I think it will be a pitty if you sell it :fighting:
