But I also don’t understand why lots of people fit huge monster turbos with loads of top end power yet break boxes on a regular, struggle to change gear or are forced to treat their car gently, it’s pointless.

all the time your changing gear your not accelerating

I guess everyone is different I personally could no way spend 9 grand on a gearbox. You could buy a tko new and a gsxr1000 lol. I don’t think the elite will put up with the torque the new big turbos produce after seeing a mates break twice with out. Id be happy to compromise and keep the revs up and down shift. I don’t see it as an issue in a road car as your pretty unlikely to meet anything as quick on 4 wheels normally
