And then you have to convert to manual.
Plus LSD diff with 3.9 gears - oh they were fun times
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
mine lasted about a year. 12psi flogging it all the time. only one decent burnout thought. 1st 3 gears with no brakes smoke everywhere lol. pretty much always driven hard. and turbo is off the car atm. and finally let go the other day. changed into 2nd and bye bye. still driveable but it ****ed lol.
it all comes down to luck i think, a freind of mine blew 2 in like 3months in his stock n/a vl exec, and mine has held on for ages running boost from 8-14psi, does grind a bit going into second though, i think if you dont smash it into every gear you should be ok.
llol it really has nothing to do with luck. It all depends on what previous condition it was in and how you treat it and how much poiwer you put through it

thats what i meant mate it all comes down to the luck of the draw, what condition the gearbox is in when you get your hands on it. And defenetly how you treat it and how much power you put through it.
