aye you can put a mk5 box on a rst, as you say it wont have the mounts, so youd be better off with a mk4 box to start?
but any of the mk5/6 boxes will fit, just make sure the starter is in the correct posistion so it doesnt need modyfying

Some of the Mk 5 and Mk 6 boxes have bigger diff bearings and an extra gear selecta inside to help with the changes and the starter is still at the front. Have a good look about.


Oh and if you are prepared for some work you can fit the RST LSD, will need the crown wheel drilling though and the whole box has to come appart.
