Does anybody know the rated maximum torque for the 6 speed manual (125ps)?

Sorry if my first post was misleading but I'm trying to find out the maximum torque the gearbox is rated for. Thinking about remapping the car and Viezu is quoting +34 BHP and +50 Nm

Why not get a 140ps model from the start?

Not offered in my country.

215 Nm. Gearbox is a Getrag 6MTT215.

So not really any more capable than the old 5 speed at handling increased torque from a remap? I have read that a standard 125 puts out around 155lb/ft (210Nm) on overboost so not much safety margin. Does the 140 have the same box?

140 has same box but with final drive ratio slighty different.

Most of the times the manufacturer builds these gearboxes with a safety margin of about 1.3. So technically it can hande 1.3 x 215 = 279,5 Nm. But there is a improvement, because the older 5 speeds were rated at 170 Nm. This gearbox is much better than the old ones. And if you don't rev it like a maniac in 1st and 2nd gear i don't seem to be worried. 

and reverse now has a sychronisers!! horray, no more crunching into reverse 

When/if Mountune come out with a power upgrade for the Mk 8, it'll be interesting to see how far they go while retaining the Ford warranty. I believe they're only offering induction hoses at the mo.

I am mainly talking about where you got the information that this particular gearbox is in the Mk8 Fiesta.

And just look under your car, you can see it on the gearbox.
