I'd like technical input from all who have actual experience with the various gearboxes available for installation into VW's, in particular a beetle for a performance application.

Whilst there may be numerous 'opinions' on this topic I'd rather these are not introduced and simply technical discussion/comment made.

I personally have a Porsche G50 transaxle in my bug but what power/torque can they handle. Does anyone have information on gear ratios based on the gearbox serial numbers?

What are the alternatives available to us nut heads pushing the envelope with our overpowered beetles?

Pics would be good too......
