If you're making 325bhp atw, your gearbox will have a limited life span. Generally 300+ on the WRX 5-speed is gearbox death territory, but then, it all depends on how you drive.

I will have the same set up just ordered vf34 and pump, all the rest as been maped in. Once i fit the new bits i was hoping for around 300 horses. I have a my00, but when bored of the 300 i will be looking at mods for more. I no i will need new gear box AGAIN soon when new mods fitted and maped. What gear box should i go for or should i just upgrade the internals.
