Having never had a 5 GTT and after driving modern cars I found my first trouble free drive in my GTT rather amusing and fun. However I was a bit concerned with revs teetering on 3,000 rpm at just 70mph in 5th. Given that the speedo goes up to 130mph and knowing full well that cars normally never get anywhere close to these speeds straight out the factory, I was just wondering if its worth looking at getting the 6th gear mod from a supplier in Germany or should I not be worrying or are there cheaper alternative safe solutions.
Why a 6th gear?
I know it's only a small engine but seems to have a lot more to give and if done right will provide hours of enjoyment. I am just concerned about high revs on a little engine.
My vehicle is only standard setup at present or so I believe but have in mind a 200BHP setup. After Kris_M looked at it last night it would appear to have a different turbo and when I find out which one of the numerous turbo receipts I have it will give me an idea of what else needs to be done. However there is not much point increasing the BHP if the standard gearbox cannot cope or constantly screams for mercy. All it would do is get me to my legal speed quicker or am I looking at this wrong?
