XKR - just upgraded upper pulley
So, just picked the car 
Upgraded upper pulley (10%) and eurotoys thermostat.
A significant difference ...
I'm starting to have trouble with traction when hard
accelerating
So for the moment Part Number QDF5W
In the next step plan to upgrade lower pulley and
blue soleonoids
But there are several issues:
1. Is an absolute necessity to change then intercooler ?
2. Do I need to do some upgrade of the transmission after lower pulley upgrade ? I am afraid that is not broke.

I think prostreetonline meant well, but they took my money without really knowing whether they could get the part.
More than 6 months after I "ordered" the Quaife from prostreetonline did I finally get most of my money back. In all that time they never did get a real commitment from Quaife for a delivery date, just stories and excuses.
Sad part is I called TL Jaguar (Home - Tom Lenthall Ltd - Independent Jaguar Specialists) in the UK and had a diff and a bearing kit in my hands within a week.
I would start there, and only deal with someone who has the thing in stock.
For your other questions: no and no.
Those things add margin, but aren't necessary for street driving and the occasional jaunt.
If you were going to do track days where it would be under high stress for long periods, then those upgrades become more important.

As for Quaife LSD - you can get it from TOMSON Motorsport *** RAJDY - WY?CIGI - DRIFTING - TUNING
As for pulley 'upgrade' - you don't have to put bigger chargecooler, stock is ok. If I were you I would go for newer bosch chargecooler pump.

There is no info on their web regarding QDF5W but I will ask.
