[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 614988, member: 38"] To be fair, with the amount of power and torque you have it's possible that the extra gear ratio won't be needed as much as for someone with a less stout engine. I'd not spotted you had a Porsche motor rather than VW. :) To my mind, the 5-speed is a much nicer option - the only thing is whether the cost can be justified, especially for a 915 gearbox as they are daft money now. If I were you I'd keep it as it is until you find a cheap Porsche box, then sell on the current one to offset the cost :) [/QUOTE]
