Don't forget
 

that HPA has over 25k miles (Daily by Marc) in his 3.2 TT with FT400 upgrade with zero issues. I know that a major gearbox for a car maker can't be based on such success but just an FYI.

Also HPA built the 3 "SEMA" cars 2 of which had Twin Turbo (550hp) and the DSG boxes..

Marry well. It worked for me.
