Hi Cormac,
The 5-speed is only needed if you have an engine that only makes its power in a narrow usually high rev (type 1) bandwith.
Most type 4's don't really need a 5-sp for that reason.
However, if you want to dust other quick cars, you will need s/th for strength. That is where your focus should be IMO. Porsche tranny's are stronger from the design on. Thats the main reason for using them, again IMO.
5-speed does nothing for strength, on the contrary...
Since any porsche tranny needs body mods, a reinforced type 1 tranny may be more for you.
Take care,
Walter
