My biggest worry with tuning boxes upping the torque considerably is that it might cause harm to the 6 speed DSG box. Are these built to handle more torue now considering the GTI and GTD are both up on torque compared to MK6?

I'm sure I read somewhere that 6 speed wet box DSG was meant to handle max 400Nm.

Unless you want to remain untraceable for warranty reasons.

Has anyone got any facts as to what the DSG box is actually limited to torque wise? That's gonna make tuning really irritating.

I would not worry about the dsg box. It can handle more power easily. It is the same box that is in the new r as well. I have bought the tmc tuning box for new gti I am picking up on Monday. I have remapped all my gti's and ed30 and they were all dsg and I booted the arse well and truly out of them all and never had any problems with the dsg box.

John, I am really interested to hear about how you get on with the tuning box. I will be putting one on mine as soon as I get the car too. How much did it change the insurance? (if at all  :wink: )

My dad used a TDI-tuning.co.uk tuning box for his 170TDI MK5 Golf DSG for 3 years without issue, taking it up to 200PS and putting the economy up by about 10%. Their new box for the GTD seems too good to be true - 239PS/495Nm. Looks to be kicking out a lot more than most of the competition, on paper at least.

That TMC box churns out a much bigger increase than the DTUK. If its correct that is pretty impressive! Are you going to dyno yours John ?

I think you'd be crazy not to. Imagine an accident even a wee bump and you couldn't get the bonnet up to remove it!!
