Changing your gearbox 5 times is going to be a major pain in the ass though. 
If/when i get boost i think i'll be looking into the ml boxes.

Less of a pain than changing it when a 4k bespoke one breaks....Mls are the way forward for someone like birk for sure as he will have mega torque and mega power But Buzz should be able to make do with a standard strengened one if stan has Zac had his coated in something i seem to remember which made his strong. But i would deffo be getting a ml6 or something over a uber expensive waste of time 4k one... Less effort Far less cost ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

My gear box for the turbo was just a bog standard gearbox, nothing done to it, lasted roughly 8000 miles before cracking the box in half lol, still had all the gears mind you.You can also get the box cryogenically frozen to bond the metal together to make it last, not very expensive around £150. ________________________________________ TEAM Supercharged Rallye |

Elite might do smaller orders, about on a par with quaiffe in terms of quality.Personally, Ml5 will probably work out a lot cheaper, easier and do the job just fine. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yup.This is a very very expensive waste of time in my opinion. Hes not entering some kind of mega racing series Its a road car That kind of box is only really worth it if you are on a track. IMO. I would be putting the money into a second hand shell resprayed with some strengthening and a ml5 + fettling. It would cost less too as even 4k is a best price, youll need 10 people to sign up for it. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I think my gearbox work cost around £900 from Miles, which I thought was very reasonable.  Eliotrw - Why wouldn't a Quaiffe box be able to take 340ft/lbs? My strengthened box takes 320ft/lbs no problem at all.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

My strengthened box takes 320ft/lbs no problem at all. Because all these fwd sequentials are made for na cars mainly. Which means they cant take that kind of torque. Im sure theres a thread where pete was looking into them a quaiffe said it was rated to 200ftlbs. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

 The BE is rated to mid 200's lbft as standard, does not surprise me that Quaife wouldn't guarantee one above that. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
