as previously mentioned pd100 engines use the 5 speed box, they are also used in fabia mk1's

max a stock pd130 engine like whats in my fabia is around 136hp and 229lb/ft standard, and as tiz said with a map your looking at 170~185ish bhp and 300~330ish lb/ft of torque!

the standard 6 speed gearbox can handle this but the standard clutch can only comfortably handle around 280lb/ft or so im told

EDIT: just realised you've decided against this so thats useless irrevelant info, my bad

not all irrelevant, it means i can also look at fabia box's Wink

so cheers

The five speed boxes in the Fabias was designated 02J & was designed for medium torque applications. You can find it in most ATD engined Fabias, ALH, AHF & ASV Octavias i.e non PD TDI Octavias. I'm pretty sure the outer dimensions are the same as the AQY petrol Octavias too (not sure about ratios though). As for the Mk 4 box that was similar to the Mk2 they were fitted mainly to 1.6 petrols & SDi engine cars.
