Stage 8 lol..
Well I could run up to 575 Crank HP with the turbo Im thinking of but im really not confident about the DSG at that power with the stock clutches..
Also there comes the point at which that power is going to only be usable over 120mph, which is pretty pointless on the road..
If I went BT on this car then the power I would aim for would be a reliable, and repeatable 475 crank HP. Before I get to that point im planning on sorting everything else out, and I mean everything!
Really the last part of the car that I would need to address once I finish the plans that I already have the car would be to allow modify the car such that it would enable me to run a 265/35/18 tyre, so that means lots of work for the arches, wide front arches and flared rears, 9inch wide rims etc etc.. That would really help with the traction!

LOL,
I've been looking at changing to 245 section tyres on the 18's for track use later this year R888's or Yoko's A048's and they should fit without arch modification :wink:
265 section = nirvana :happy2:

As i understood it, the torque limit on the dsg 'box is for mechanical reasons (i.e. the components of the 'box can't handle the extra torque). Is this true, or is it more of a software (ecu) thing?

Ahh, just winding back a touch to JonnyC's response I see they don't touch the D-mode until you're in the realms of the Stage 3R.

I would consider the Stage 1, purely for the control over the manual shifts. There's nothing more annoying than having it boot up a gear mid corner when you're steeering on the throttle.
Also, having looked apparently the DSG shifts up in 8 milliseconds, so 60% faster isn't really that much although sounding impressive. I presume they've done the work on how fast the power comes back in to improve it that way?
