[@ZacharyPlunkett-xi6th]

Love the videos mate . Just bought a 5 speed manual xr6 turbo and keen to see what it can handle . Cheers

[@PangazShed]

That’s awesome mate, loads of fun! Thanks for your kind words

[@jaradrockley]

Mines 360kw and 900nm on a stock btr box lol 😂 trust me the t5 can handle a lot and last along time as my other is running 330kw with a t5 and I’ve never been nice to the poor old thing hahahah there’s a gold b series on Ross reviews with a stock t5 pushing over 900rwhp it’s worth the watch

[@PangazShed]

Far out that’s impressive! All these horror stories about T5 shitting the bed on stock power even N/A. I’ll check out that Ross Reviews vid, cheers

@@PangazShed honestly as long as the box is in good condition ie oil, oil cooler and filter and you should be fine as long as your not abusing it constantly changing while under high rpm and boost pressures, if you’re keen when you give the box a service add a magnet to the inside of the box pan to catch and foreign metals or at least a magnetic sump plug , works wonders good sir I wish I had a power glide but it’s welllllll out of my budget

[@PangazShed]

Good condition, yeah maybe - the input shaft is wobbly as! 🤣 but yes I’ll be doing the oil in the upcoming weeks, handy tip about the magnet! I’ll def be checking the condition of the oil that comes out! I know what you mean about gearbox/ trans upgrades, expensy! I guess the best time to replace is when they no longer do gear shifting things! Cheers mate

@@PangazShed hahahahah yeah bro my thoughts exactly 👍 rare earth magnets work wonders , we get ours off eBay cheap , it’s not gonna save it from disaster but I find it’s a small cheap preventative measure, new clutch will do wonders too. Problem is we get stuck in the mindset of while I’m there I may as well fix lol 😂 never ends ai , I like your content

Are you talking about T5 or T5z as that car in Ross reviews had a T5Z it’s a turbo box different to the NA 5 speeds
