B5 RS4 box will not hold up very long unless you upgrade the gears as the torque will strip the gears off the shafts

There was an RS6 replica at Dialynx a couple of weeks ago when mine was in for a service. It runs MoTeC and a diesel manual 'box apparently without trouble - gets used a lot they told me and it makes decent power/torque.
