I think i'll get it mapped and set up. Then see how it feels.

All this means is that you deffo need to take me out in yours to compare

I have been out in a 2871rs and there is a bit of lag...

The be conversion has always been something I've tried to avoid because I never wanted the expense of it, is it really worth it? Have you had any transmission related problems with yours?
Another thing putting me off the be is how much i spent on a friggin ma box by putting the quaife diff in it!

Paxo89 (dan) is running 222 atw on his turbo charged saxo, no problems as of yet, but to be honest, does not smash through gears on full boost and i do think the wheels spinning is helping him alot. Semi slicks on a warm day and there could be some problems!

I imagine if it has an open diff it won't have too many issues as once it wheelspins it won't try to regain grip!

Thats right mate, just let it spin or change tbh. Its a shame in some ways that not all full power is able to go through and be transfered, however, i guess at the minute its saving him hassle! Also has a spare VTR box just incase!

One of his top priorities is to get the BE conversion kit from somewhere with a diff.
