I assume we are talking about the hydro 94+ GS-R trans, because the cable 92-93 GS-R version YS1 is geared closer then all B16A* transaxles.

A friend of mine swapped out his 5th gear on his Y21 (B16) keeping the closer ratio 1-4 which helps acceleration and makes it more tolerable on the highway. It also raised his top speed. He only drops it into 5th when hes on the highway.

well.. from what ive heard, the b16 is better for all motor set-ups coz itll redline quicker.. but the gsr would be a better choice for boosting or daily driving on the freeways.. i went with the b16 tranny on my b20vtec and it didnt make too much of a difference on the track for me, but i hate it on the freeway... 80-90mph cruising on the freeway hittin vtec kills my mpg.. 
got boost?

i have an itr tranny on my turbo gsr, and i love it, i like it better then my previous GSR tranny...
that is too general to say "turbo car's do better with a certain tranny" for most application's a gsr tranny will be just fine, but it also depends on your turbo if you have a big mother fawking turbo that dosen't open up tilll about 6 grand then yes longer gears would be great choice, but if you have a smaller turbo that will open up at about 3700 rpms an ITR tranny will be just fine... so its all relative to the set up
