I've got a big16g and it can handle it quite fine.
You can tear up the stock tranny with the stock turbo.
Just drive smart, don't launch all the time...I rarely EVER launch unless I'm at the track racing. The 16g's torque really isn't much to shred gears from a roll either.

i would just pick the power level & buy the supporting parts--then drive sanely. these trans can handle the power if driven correctly. i drive like an idiot, so that's why i have a dogbox.

Better gears are good insurance, as the 5mt has a varied reputation

If you shift and engage the clutch like you could blow 1st or 2nd at time you'll do fine. Shock load and Tq blow gears not HP

16g w/ TMIC but a bigger one than OEM.... yes FTW....
