internally 020 boxes are all the same in terms of strength, if anything 16v is a bit stronger due to larger input shaft but its hard to snap one, tho danny managed it :grin:

all the gears & diff etc are the same strengths though, if you want piece of mind an 02a box with bolt kit is the way forward.

a ported and cammed valver 2.0 will eat diff rivets if you drive it like it should be driven

I'm starting to get the fear now :undecided:

Well if you gonna go 2.0 with ported and polished head i would do something with gearbox as i have a 1.9 8v gti engineering mk2 golf and i have just gone through my fifth gearbox. So now have got another gearbox coming.

i was told the 020 rod box was supposed to be a strong box,how wrong are they 5 and counting on my mk2. Hopefully the quaiffe box will last.
