I think the skyline box is generally good for 500bhp in standard form plus the focos is a lot lighter than a skyline so less stress. I suspect the torque on a 579 bhp engine is much more than a 400bhp Cossie puts out so that coupled with weight would count for destroying the box. The cossie boxes break after the torque that comes with 400bhp setup plus the skyline box is active so you can have the 2wd option plus the controller and active map to shift the power around as per the Ets pro.
The skyline boxes can be picked up for under £1000 compared to the £5k / £6k my oppliger mt75 box cost to take similar power reliably. Agreed though that is gicken should be good for 700 or maybe even more reliably AND you can have shorter gear ratios.
