Yep, I will be running T5. I bought the very last T5 kit from Eeuroparts. I have been warned that with that type of power the transmission will likely only hold up as long as I don’t abuse it. It’s literally the best transmission they can build (modified chill cast case, shot peened & cryo frozen gears, steel case cover, type 8 gears, LSD...).
This car had massive power (best guess was around 350) and the stock mounts held up fine before the motor went bad. I gave the car to a friend to finish using up and bought myself a Carrera 4. The Saab had way more torque and was slightly faster even after the Porsche was in its power band. I liked driving the Saab just as much as the 911, but it was in need of a costly restoration to be back up to my standards. Now I am ready to do that restoration.
This time around I want even more power and I want the car set up to take it reliably (with reasonable care taken).
