I don't have a clue about the accuracy of the DSG wikipedia entry, they show the Audi DQ250 is has a max torque rating of 350Nm

The same article also claims, "Torque handling capability constraints perceive a limit on after-market engine tuning modifications (though many tuners and users have now greatly exceeded the official torque limits.[citation needed]); Later variants have been fitted to more powerful cars, such as the 300 bhp/350Nm VW R36 and the 272 bp/350 Nm Audi TTS."

Personally, I'm waiting to see if the same (exact) tranny goes into the RS3. That would be a litmus test for a tuned S3 IMO.

Ryan, I disagree with your disagreement (sorta)… what burns-up in an auto ARE the clutches and bands… in a way you are right, and incorrect, IMO.

lol - A3. Nothing on the window sticker to indicate I paid anything extra for them unless they are included under another item...
