My diff is 3.23 (original 2.8x forgot) and the 5th gear is 0.81.

I have no plan of turboing soon becasue the tranny is not ready for that.
I will see if the 6 speed can hold up the 3.6L first.
the 2.5 16v getrags can take alot of power 450-500lbs of torque without any issues, but it really comes down to your driving style, for the clutch find the biggest mercedes turbo diesel clutch that can fit.
