Titch always said it was a mixed blessing going BE - he said the MA was the most fun thing he'd ever driven but at the cost of reliability. The BE is less raw but more reliable. From what I remember of brents (non diff, MA) that thing made a bee-line for the hedge everytime it saw a wiff of boost
Im running MA VTR box with a diff and trs driveshaft......


It still tries!

Arghh all this turbo talks wrecked my head now! Do i persist with the 2871rs or is it worth selling it now while its fresh and going for something else?

Im Going to make a boosted gearbox thread to try keep the box and turbo talk separate.
