Post by: harry bum on 23 March 2010, 21:57

i re-built my engine last year and it is currently a 2litre with bout 50-60thow of the head, polished ported,
race cam.
And it has loads of torque and it could do with a taller 3rd, 4th and 5th

Does any1 know of any i can put in ie; tdi 3rd, or VR 4th

if 02a then vr or tdi box prob best bet for longer ratios, but i dont know of any handy sites that list them all for you. i can find out tooth counds from etka if desired though
