I have his stage one box in my S2. It is the only gearbox I have had that has lasted more than 12 months.

Can't fault the box in the slightest Go for it and you will not regret it

My old Fiesta Zetec Turbo did a 0-100 in 9.5sec and a 12.7 quarter mile with Bernies Stage 2 so your 153bhp should be fine

well Oranocoi has over 260lb torque, so your 152 bhp will be fine

I also have the Stage 1 box in mine... broke numerous boxes before
No probs at all with this one
