I'll drill them out and thread them too.

Can the intermediate plate be upgraded? Whatelse in the tranny would need to be upgraded to handle say 250-300HP?

Since I'm bug is slammed I'm a little worried about the angle the stock beetle CV's would be at. I heard they fail after 17 degrees of angle.

If you use Porsche alloy trailing arms (wide or narrow), use the late 944S (after '86) *NON TURBO* axles with Beetle CVs' on the inside, and non-turbo 944 CVs' on the outside..

I have stock beetle trailing arms right now. I'm going to do the swap sometime in late March and drive it until winter. From there I'm going to tear it down for paint, body work and a turbo'd 1700cc typeIV motor. So I want to make sure I'm not doing something twice.
