richard,
i've had very good luck with using a gearbox from a 91-93 turbo and shot-peening the gearset. the gearing is good, and can get a lot better by changing the dropchain ratios. as for synchros, use 3rd gear synchro in all gears except 5th. when assembling use new bearings, races and rods- and cryo-treat them. if you want to cryo your shift forks as well it would probably help. i've been going strong on the same gearbox since Black River Stages 2001! no rebuild, no tear down, just fresh mtl every event. now we're running mt-90 as the mtl was thinning too much. i'm not sure how much power your 16vt is putting out but i know that this setup works with my 8vt (180 hp - 240 ft/lb torque) under rally conditions. afaik this is similar to what scan-west does to their boxes.
