What's space like for a front mount as I looked at space in the front bumper (with ac removed) and it looks very tight on mine

The ebay size t3/t4 is what I have. pretty big, but its looking like it'll suit the lude pretty well!

400 through fwd eg that wont be much over 1000 kg will you not get horrendous understeer trying to put power down though the corners

This is what im looking into atm, some do
Say that you get bad understeer but thats through reading, half of them havent been in one.
My mates is pretty good at turning all poly bushed up but thats not a turbo yet. So im not too sure myself.
Ive spoken to another company and they say that i wont want to go more than 350.
