Boa turbo gearbox options
Hi I have a 24v sapphire turbo running 300bhp with a 2.0 dohc mt75 rwd box. Now it's copes ok now but was thinking of upping the power to 400bhp or more. Has anyone put any different boxes on the cologne v6 for big horsepower applications?
Any help would be great. Thanks, Darren.

Opening an old post here guys but was wondering has anyone used any other gearboxes for a boa turbo application. I have used my mt75 for a few years now but after a few track days something has gone in it. Just wondering if anyone has used say a BMW or 350Z gearbox before i rebuild my old gearbox?

After using an MT75 gearbox for the 7 yrs mine has been turbo'd and killing the box 3 times in the last 2 years with 345bhp and 390lbft torque I have decided that a T5 is the easiest route for me. I have managed to source the right bellhousing so should be a straight forward swap.
Did look at bmw boxes and other possibilities but the R&D and getting it right wouldn't have suited me due to time etc. Also getting the right ratios makes all the difference

i run a T5 box using the correct bellhousing.
only thing i found was the input shaft isnt actually long enough so you have to make a spigot bearing extender to bring the bearing forward, it pretty much sits in the centre of the clutch plate.
