Default Stronger rs2000 tbox

Hi all although I've been a member for some time I've not been on here for meny years so please have some patience for a newbie lol. I'm looking at doing a rs 2000 4wd turbo and I'm looking for around 350bhp but I've been told that the transfer box is crap after 280 so does anyone know if there's a stronger replacement out there? Rs2000-16v.com I've posted a thread and some are looking at evo 6 gear(has been done I've been told) gt4 running gear and a ford kuga tbox but as yet no real answers so I thought I would throw it up here and see if anyone can help.
Thanks in advance

Jag X-type transfer box is more manly due to having to take the torque from the v6, it's physically much larger than the rs2k one. It also fits an mtx75, which is a nice bonus!

That's crazy I wouldn't have thought that would fit,I'm guessing that it would be bigger so adapting the rear cradle would be a must.some have called me mad for trying to do it with fwd but I have a 315bhp scoob at the mo that I'm selling and the one thing I thing I'll mis most is the 4wd so call me mad
Thanks mate
