Default Level Ten is still the best place to upgrade the Tiptronic tranny on an 1998 A4 1.8T Quattro right?

If so, I was wondering what the difference between the stage 2 and the stage 3 kit is?

Does anyone know what the tranmission can hande HP and Torque wise after the upgrades are preformed? Can stage 3 handel more then stage 2?

Also what else is needed to be as bullet proof as possible besides the PTS kit?

I know some people have had some trouble working with Level Ten so would I be fine if I just had them send me the parts and had a local shop do the upgrade? or would I still be better off having them do it?

And on a side note, whats the max HP and Torque that the engine can handel with stock internals?

Thanks!<ul><li><a href="http://www.levelten.com/store/import/packages/parts_audi_a4_95_UP.htm">Here is a link to the Audi products from Level Ten</a></li></ul>

Default A lot of your questions can be answered by calling Level 10 directly....

They'd be your best source of information.

For th B5 chassis A4 equipped with the ZF 5HP19 Automatic transmission, the max torque rating from the manufacturer is 350 Nm of torque, which equals about 235 lbs/ft. The 5HP19 tranny that is installed in the B5 S4 and the 2.7t A6 has an upgraded torque convertor with a better lockup clutch which ups the torque rating to ~308 lbs/ft.

What mods are you planning for your car?

Default PES T-28 for now

But I am trying to figure out if the level ten upgraded tranny and stock engine internals can take a 50-75 shot of Nitrous on top of that.

Or I might upgrade to a T3/T4 after I get the T-28 kit because i belive it bolts up to the PES manifold doesnt it?
