Looking for transmission direction (n00b)

[Rob]

I've been driving my bug for quite a bit now, and it's obvious I need a 5th gear.

I'm not making huge power (app. 150 out of a stock Sube EJ25), but I'm sure the torque and my lead foot will kill the stock T1 tranny.

I also want to flip the mount to move the tranny/engine forward.

I've read about the 901/915/930 boxes and frankly, I'm overwhelmed and confused. I also looked into Rancho / Berg transmissions.

I'm looking for a 5 spd that can handle the current power, and future power upgrades. I'd like an LSD, although I think that might be too much $$$.

What are my options ? Where should I start ?

Any input is appreciated (links / write ups / etc).

Thanks,

Rob.
