Big Turbo Matters

there was a feeler for sale thread for a gearbox with LSD a few weeks back, I think on Seatcupra.net...

Fair point, Can't beat 4WD though but keeping this shell would save me alot of hassle.

Thing is i need to run 6 speed with 350bhp, Even now its feel stressful sitting at high revs all time.

Im contemplating just fitted SMF flywheel, paddle clutch and using a PD130/150 gearbox.

Why do you think you need 6 speed with 350bhp? I run that power and the 5 speed is great. Dean at Awesome used to run the same power but through an anni 6speed and said it was a nightmare and believes mine is much easier to drive. Getting through the gears on a 6speed is not gonna be fun, sometimes I wish mine were longer. just put an LSD in yours and away you go till you find a 4mo shell!

Jord - after speaking with Nick a few months back sounds like the diesel box is a good idea. think he said he had seen one that was on a 1.8t and was easily getting 110-120mph in 3rd gear

Aaron, The ratios too low on a 5 speed, Setting off with 6 speed diesel box is like setting off in 2nd on 5 speed. Means i wont be spinning up and final drive is much much longer. Theres a vortex thread listing ratios

is it gona be easy mating the 6spd up to a 5spd engine ?? i no most people say its too much hastle to change from 5spd to 6spd is it really that bad ??

i doubt its thaat hard, but if i was to do it, all it would involve was a phone call to my mechanic and some money

Ah, didn't catch the diesel bit! Fair enough, will be interesting to see how easy it is to do and how it works. Longer final drive will be good.
I do not spin up unless its very wet but even then it is controllable if you don't just floor it!

Going to try the diesel box on it, if that doesnt suit ill hunt a 4mo shell.

6 speed box mates straight up, Change selector, shafts, starter. Adapt hydro line, sorted.

i no its not about your thread how much including box would you charge for the swap ??
