16vT / tranny ?

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (raveracer77)]

    The 020 itself is worth swapping for 02A or 02J.  There are some weak points on the 020 that if you can afford the time and hassle you should swap if you're going to push insane power through it.   I think the big difference with them is the cable shift instead of the linkage but I've not attempted this swap myself.  As of right now I've destroyed 3, count'em 1 - 2 - 3, 2Y trannies (GTI, GLI, GTX, Scirocco 16V).  I have one last one and I'm debating on whether I should just ditch on it and sell it as a core or use it till it blows.  With an ABA on it's way, and a PL to strip for goodies, wiring arriving shortly and the potential for turbo I'm wasting my time on the 2Y.  From this chart you'll see that the AGB and 2Y are supposed to have the same ratios.  Currently at 80 mph I rev around 4000.  I'm hoping for closer 3000 with the ATH gears.

    For gears, you'll probably want somethine way taller all the way through.  I've had Turbo Deisel trannies on PL motors (1.8 16V) before and I swear by them.  This GLI is the 9A (2.0 16V) so hopefully I'll actually be able to push all the way to the top of the Rev with the extra juice.  The Deisel  trannies I looked for were ACH, ATH, Newer AGS and AOP and Ron even offered to build me one for a reasonable price.  Unfortunately immigration filing fees are priority.... sorry Ron.

    For the LSD's, Peloquins were made for the 020 so I'd consider looking them up first.  I've never driven either so I can't talk about them but LSD is always a good idea with big power as far as I'm concerned.

  So let's say I turbo a 1.8 or 2.0 16v.  Say no more than 10psi.

  Again, will the AGB hold up to this?  If yes and I rebuilt, would I
  want to swap any gears for better performance with a 16vT?  BTW, if
  yes, then I will rebuild with quaife or peloquin.  >:D

  BTW: I've been drinking.  Almost done with Uni 750ml #2 (started with
  Trois Pistoles and am finishing Maudite).
