There is a guy on here using a 1.8t/020 tranny combo. The 020's were designed back in the early 80's and weren't intended for much more than what the 9A 16v put out. Unfortunately, It's been the same design (but different ratios) for 20 years. However, I've had success with ~250whp on a Kraftwerks 020 that lasted 4+ months. Long time ago, though.
