well...i have the r-154 with flywheel and clutch kit on zee way... so i'm going for it...why is it nicer??
Khang: They're ok up to around the 400 rwhp mark if they're in good condition to start with but anything over that they're a bit fragile and tear up if you shift hard.
Beautiful box if you're staying NA though I put well over 100,000 km's on one and loved it.

Alex: The W series really are sweet to drive compared to the R's they just can't take the sort of abuse a healthy Turbo motor can dish out.
It's not so much HP that breaks em it's more the Torque a modern Turbo can make at low RPM/Car speed this really tears em to pieces.
R154 is a good way to future proof it if you're heading that way eventually.
