The FD tranny and FC Turbo tranny are pretty much the same thing internally so there is no advantage to changing it, and the disadvantage that the FD tranny has been having another 60+ HP running through it to wear it out 1/3 faster than a standard R type tranny found in the 87-91 Turbo.

Couple problems...
FD tranny uses a pull-type clutch, which means you need to buy a new clutch.
The FC trans mounts won't fit on the FD tranny, cause the FD tranny uses the PPF for it's "trans mount".
Basically, the internals are the same.
The FD tranny does not use stronger gears.
To me it's too much effort and a waste of time...
