      ^^Combine both your ideas, get a better AWD setup with higher boost :evil4::evil4:

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        Actually, my next project will be Mid-Rear. KLDE + MTX75/E153 no worrying about transmission failure, and still driving the correct set of wheels

          I've looked at the E153 for my KL and all I keep wandering is what starter/flywheel setup to use, since the starter has to be on the tranny side, have you looked at it deep enough to figure that out?

              Same here, i figure if need be, if the E153 starter doesn't match up to the KL flywheel, i'd put the E153 on the milling machine at work to make a new mounting point for the KL starter :evil4: problem solved
