If you want a stock 930, the 5 speed is the better tranny for staying on boost. If you want to modify for more hp, however, I prefer mating it to a 4 speed. Less rowing equals more going.

I did say with lots of lag its a dog...
even with a short 1st if you had a closer 2-5 (or even 2-4 for that matter) I think the stock 930 would be more fun. when I had my 930 on the track I could have used 1st for one of the turns but I really did not want to down shift to 1st for it, just did not want to tear it up even though mine does go into 1st nicely.
we don't have the autobahn over here so 100+ for long periods on public roads really isn't an option. yes I have hit 160 but scared to death of going to jail.
my opinion a 4spd geared for maybe 140-150 tops would be more fun especially with the stock turbo.
just my opinion.
I am working on reducing my turbo lag so I have not driven one that the boost does not come in below 3500. (mine had a 7006).
