while we're on the subject ive been reading gearboxmans website...
Fully rebuilt and strengthened transmissions
Uprated (iB5 specification) bearings
Stage 1 uses uprated Ford viscous limited slip diff
Stage 2 uses Quaife ATB limited slip diff
Stage 2Plus has shot-peened gears
Does that mean basically the stage 1 is an IB5 gearbox (which is an upgrade from BC) and includes an rs turbo diff?
Or does it mean it uses uprated versions of the IB5 bearings?
Secondly, is it worth getting my gears shot peened when i have the conrods done? I'm only aiming for 210ish bhp so i would imagine not.
I might as well get the bigger bearings machine work done while im doing the block though?
