I'm facebook friends with the guy who races this rallycross boxster in England. He has an Audi 2.7 twin turbo in it and prefers to use the 987 5 speed. He goes through a transmission every year and told me he usually blows second gear out when he is coming off dirt and onto tarmac. The 987 gear ratio is similar to the early 2.5 gearboxes. My other friend with the 3.4 also uses the 987 five speed and both believe the 987 transmission is stronger than the 986. Externally it looks the same as a 986 gearbox though. I believe the transmission code on top of the bellhousing for a 987 is GAL
