Apologies if this has already been answered before (its a long thread!) - but what is the max. torque limit of the GTD clutch/flywheel?

It's a bit of an unknown for manuals. Officially DSG boxes don't like to be above 450Nm, manuals are probably more resilient, less to go wrong. You need to look around and see who's reported prematurely slipping clutches when mapping or adding a tuning box. Very few stories on Google for any box, I found an Alfa and a few Renaults when I scoured the net. Done almost 6k miles now with the DTUK box and no ill effects.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Hi. What box do you have, and why are you selling it? Are you not impressed with it?

I have the CRD-T box. About a month old. Reason is that my GTD is a company car and I had to sign a renewal disclaimer to say that the car wasn't modified in any way, never had to sign one before but don't wanna risk it now I've signed. 

More than impressed with the box, totally transforms the car in every single gear. Pm me if interested
