Same box just different actuation of the clutch lever, it matters not which one you use as its not used anyway.

2wd car has an integral bellhousing, so fitment would be a nightmare.


If you want a strong box, fit a Supra R154 turbo 5sp box. Although as the drift guys are starting to use them, they are getting very expensive and hard to come by.

Someone has been doing the GTS-t box modded for other cars, not sure who it was.

Its not power that you rate boxes at its the torque. A mate ran standard GTS-t boxes on a 550ft/lbs motor. They work but are at the limit of the box.
Don't get the turbo box mixed up with a non turbo GTS box, Non turbo ones are crap.
