Cheers guys 
Yea I've been doing quite a bit of research and the general consensus seems to be the manual box is well engineered and very strong so should cope fine with any power increase i can get out of it. Just glad its not the auto box as from what ive read it can barely cope with the standard power! Maybe why they tuned the 2.5 down so much in them?
I've been researching a way of increasing the gear ratios but no luck with that unfortunately. It may as well be a 4 speed box as unladen you can easily pull off in 2nd without slipping the clutch excessively! And 5th is far too low on the motorway unless you cruise at 65, want to be able to cruise at 80 with fairly low revs
I am planning on getting it remapped but not sure where to go. Who are the best at mapping these? Is it true they cant be flashed via OBD and you physically have to change the microchip inside the ecu?
