Good news John and IMHO the right choice at the moment - be interesting to see how things progress. Taking some weight out is going to make a difference for sure.

so Hurdy if you're gonna go down the road of the Hybrid K04 would be using yet a.n.other map on your car (i.e. Jabba!)

or can the Revo map be adapted to max the potential of the new turbo?

There's not going to be that much difference to warrant changing the stage 2+ Chungster. Adaptation could be done through the SPS+ controller.

S4s are really heavy though
And . . . . . they still outhandle highly modded evo9s and Scoobies, even when Scoobies peddled by class 1 plod instructors.

This was untouchable on a track day:

build quality does not matter as its all coming out of the car he says  so it makes better sense to have a lighter 4wd car that is built for the job ie a rally car

Of course 'build quality' matters - particularly when you are referring to the structural strength and rigidity of the bodyshell.  One of the main reasons Jap cars are so light is because they generally have light and weak bodyshells - not really an issue if you fit a full cage, but a serious disadvantage for a road car.
