Euan Begby did it years ago in his saff where I think he managed just over 500 bhp with it and didnt break it lol

I ran the same box as Euan in my 200sx, it handled 386ATW and had no complaints. the problem is finding one these days and finding parts if you need them.

The point would be

A you don't have £1k for a T5
B there is none available if you did
C maybe you just want to do it
