    All over this build! Yes the standard Vauxhall 4x4 system isn't the greatest, but as you've said the main issue is the TXB. I had a GSI2000 with a LET conversion running around 280 and it was totally fine once I got a Mike Hayward kit and that included plenty of hard launches. Also got a genuine Cav Turbo now running mostly standard power on the original setup but if it does fail I'll just go down the locked box route again. They aint as bad as people made out through the years. Looking forward to the progress videos Dan.
