with a turbo u want long gears so it can spool out, supercharged you want short gears.correct me if i am wrong...

hermdawgSLC:
If you're planning to go turbo, both VW1990Corrado and RaddoVR6-T are absolutley correct. You definitely want longer gears to maintain high exhaust flow/turbo spool, i.e shorter gears = less boost. Now, there are a couple options I can think of if you're looking to change trannys.
1) Change to a CCM gear box (CDM is stock) w/ the 3.389 ring/pinion. Although first gear is a bit low (but good for traction w/ boost @ high rpm's), this will allow you to hold 3rd much longer and have faster 1/4 mile ET's. Acceleration (0 - 60), however, will be a bit compromised. I've heard you can also get to 155 to 160 mph with the CCM. If you do this, you should definitely go with a lightened flywheel and ATB differential.
2) Switch out to a 02J tranny (3.389 r/p) - longer 1st and 3rd gears than a 02A. These are factory in early mk4's.
If I can find some #'s to compare, I'll post 'em.
Hope this helps.
B(C)orrado: Yes, VWMS definitley came out with a 6-speed kit...how could I forget. If you know where to find one, let me know!!!
