My experience is with my 14. Weights 2139lbs, has a 2.0L Type IV, and I do a lot of driving on the freeway. Here's the kicker, if it's under a 100 F, I can get in the fast lane and cruise all day long at 80-90mph and I don't over heat. My experience with T1/VW tranny 1302 is on a hot day I'm in the slow lane tring to keep my engine cool, and also I'm turning a lot of rpms. Now I'm building my 1302 for road racing and I'll need taller gears, plus it's a 5 speed.
I have also read several times on here that the 901's can handle up to 300 hp's so it should be strong enough for my uses.
Plus the conversion seems simple enough.
One question, can you get a bug over 120mph with less than 100hp's using a stock VW gear box? My 14 has.
