Both the Golf GTI and GTD are available with a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed DSG automatic gearbox.  Volkswagen’s seven-speed DSG gearbox is not offered; the reason for this is that while the six-speed version can be paired with high torque engines (up to 350 Nm), the seven-speed variant is more effective in combination with smaller engines with torque outputs of up to 250 Nm.  All gearboxes in the Golf are filled with lifetime oil and require no routine maintenance....

Well 350nm is around 258lbs ft, standard a mk6 GTI is 280nm so you not got a lot to play with  :undecided:

This is another DSG box which is designed for higher outputs of 450Nm I think and has more plates. Number of gears is not a factor. The 7 spd 250Nm box is dry the rest are wet (oil filled).

Current: GTI Edition 35 Candy White 5dr DSG 19" Glendale, RCD510+DAB, Dynaudio, Storage Pack, Parking Sensors

Gone: Edition 35, GTI Mk6, Edition 30, GTI Mk4, GTI Mk3, GTI Mk2 and my favourite the UR quattro
For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox

I think a stage 1 ED30/35 has around 400Nm.

I ran Stage 2 on a MK5 DSG for four years with no issues in fact if anything it made the DSG even better.
