hi the gearbox fitted has to be compatible match diif ratio wise with the existing rear diff unless you fit a matched box and diff together.
what code is your existing gearbox ???
its torque rather than hp that kills boxes unfortunately.

I don't know where you got the idea that this gearbox is good for 400bhp? But I've seen standard turbo's chew them up and that's half the power and torque
I would not want to push one of these boxes past 300lbs of torque tbh, though an sti box seems a good idea, you would require a rear diff and the gearing would be shorter than your UK box.
