The FQ400 is 400 flywheel horse power. So if you take the normal 15% of drivetrain loss, your looking around 60 horse power loss through the drive train. Now the MR is typically around 20% drivetrain loss which is around 80 horse power loss through the drivetrain. Mine was making 335 WHP. If you do the math, that puts me right at or just above 400 flywheel horse power. Basically FQ400 status.
The mods on the FQ400 were intercooling piping, new exhaust, tuning, and I think they did a little something different with the turbo. Other than that, its all cosmetic and maybe a little suspension upgrades. The FQ400 was almost twice the cost of a loaded MR, making it very stupid to buy one. Cause with the difference in price, you could easily make a FQ500 or FQ600.
