i dont know if anyone will want 2 help for the sin i am going 2 comit, lol

my poor wee 406 will be in car heaven soon, the actuators getting sorted and the engine's going in my newly acquired 306 gti-6, should i use the 5 or 6speed box?

what intercooler should i go for, i'll hopefully get a hybrid turbo if i can remember who can do them on here and i'm really nice?

are dp engineering or hi-flow heads good for buying parts from? not sure what i'll need tho for decent power.

cheerz again

I'd still use the GTI-6 box...

That said, the Xsara VTS 5 speed is the strongest of the lot - depends on how much power you are planning on putting down? Aren't GTi-6's notorious for stripping teeth if you up the power (200+BHP) and then go for some unforgiving changes?

the gears are thiner in the 6 box that in a 5 speed box thats y the teeth knacker so easily. i heard some ppl haved used the d-turbo box from a 306 and have been happy with the results
