S5 N/A Tranny w/ Turbo II?
Is it possible to use any engine other than the S5 N/A with an S5 N/A tranny?

Thanks.

From what I've seen & heard, the NA tranny starts to get fragile with loads over ~200HP.

Of course, you could drive it very gently - but that's no fun..

You can use the S5 T2 engine with the S5 NA driveline.


My NA driveline lasted approx. 4.3k miles before bearing & internal gear failure on the NA transmission.

Turbo on N/A tranny is not all that fragile at near stock boost level if you invest in a light flywheel. It's a lot easier on the tranny.
