In which case a built CDB is about as much use as **** on fish!

 

what kind of fish?!?!

Seriously though, preempting the next question. What gearbox would you recommend for these kind of power levels (suggested by the turbo's previously mentioned) where from and how much?

 

Either a 6 speed (2/2.5k for everything needed) or a PPG 5 speed (2.5/3k for everything) with a decent uprated clutch (£450/£1k+)

Banny

 

if you dont have deep pockets then i would suggest selling your current gearbox minumum 500 add a grand on top of that get yourself a 6 speed gearbox with the left over money buy yourself a second hand 18G,20G or hs380.

there really isnt a massive diffrence interms of 20G,md321h or hs380 or hs420.
or another thing you can do is get your heads mildly ported, buy a second hand 20G get a remap and your still have enough money left in your pocket. the md has a good reputtion but so has the 20G and the hs 380 or hs 420.

 

Cheers for the input. The UK Turbo Wagon i had with the 2.5/Tdo5 18G and remap to 369/352 used the standard box and i really gave that car some stick, mainly because it was such a useable point to point car and the gearbox never gave me any trouble whatsoever. Anyway ive seen a Td05 20g for sale by a guy fairly local to me and its never been on the car, he wants £400, so bargain. Can you tell if its a good one or a crappa, as ive seen a lot of v-cheap yank/chinese crap for sale
