In response to the guys who stated he had a dogbox, the only dogbox Ive been able to find on the market right now are the Hollinger, which I believe is a sequential unit (maybe not) the Ralliart 5 speed dog box (HKS uses that in the TRB-02) and the Magnus unit which I know of NOBODY using it yet. Just the same, Id like to see what someone with an Evo has to say about it.

One way or another.....Buschur has always had my respect, but building a motor with a slew of sub 9 second passes on it, running ONLY 56 pounds of boost and being as good as day 1? I dont see how anyone can choose differently....

John offers his own Dogbox Tranny. You can contact him for details on it. I know of a couple poeple who actually have the magnus dogbox besides Marco himself. One of them even daily drives it.

One of our Locals here Tim down in portland Has one hes been usuing one just a little over a year, He actually had to send it back because he shattered 4th gear. I don't have a clue where you got your information
