What Torque / Power are you running with Ver 5 STI Gearbox
Id like to hear what kind of power people are running on these and what kind of level they can hold together up to. Ive heard of a few people running in the high 300's without a problem.

It's at least those figures and have been runing like that for about 3-4 weeks. No trackday work and just the occasional "play".
Before the current turbo, i was running a 20G at up to 1.5 bar, so it was prolly up to 390hp.
I've had my fair share of troubles with the gearbox, but it's mainly duff bearings or knackered syncro's. It has actually broken a gear.....yet.

I ran approx 1000 miles at circa 500/500 without issue although that didn't include any drag starts, just fast road use. I believe Alan G ran further with even more power although it did eventually break IIRC.
The V5/6 Sti /P1 box is the pick of the 5 speed crop.

As Andy says i ran mine at over 500/500 for a number of months before 3rd gear gave way.
In all previous "tuned" incarnations of my car over the years, the gearbox failures were always 3rd gear, yet none of them failed when under power and none gave any indication they were about to fail.
