Rebuild a T5 to make it stronger... can it be done?

I have a NWC T5 and it needs to be rebuilt anyway do to losing the first through third gears, and I was just wondering what could be done to make it stronger. I do not want to buy a T56. Thank you much!

Not much. See the G-Force upgrades, but they cost almost as much as a T56.

G-force is about the only choice out there really.

They only make rebulid kits for world class T5s... I think I am just stuck with a stock rebuild... daft, foiled again...
