    Look mate if you haven't got any background on these machines and are on here playing games answering questions with questions please don't I'm serious about tuning my car and haven't got time to waste replying to nonsense. I thought you may have had some relevant conversations with qualified people that why i asked.
    Your background is talking to people !
    You don't even know what gearbox you have in your car

    JDR Engineering tuned my S4 and know their stuff. Whilst my car was being tuned there was an array of racing VW/Audi cars from Holland, Belgium and Germany there were at different stages of tuning. I actually drove from N. Germany to get my tune. They have a very high reputation in Europe. So don't knock that man on the end of the phone.

    But where is the evidence that these boxes are good for 1250nm ? Only people who can truly say how much the box can take is zf and there saying max input torque is 650 nm
    I'm not here to play games or answer question with questions I mearly said I'd be surprised if the gearbox can handle 1250nm reliably and also someone else and the bloke flew of the handle.

    zf will say that they are safe to a certain level so they dont have to pay out warranty claims for people with silly power. its like an old o1e box (audi s4), they are safe to 1000 bhp, but audi wont admit to that. you only know what a box is safe to when you put that much power through it and it doesn't break. so the problem is finding people that run with that much power and can say yes, the box is ok ..

    I agree with you zf will say there ok to a certain level but to nearly double there max rated input ! Like I said I'd be surprised if it can handle it reliably

    Mr Marc I'm totally up for people commenting on my posts and interacting in a intelligent, articulate way and adding to the debate. If your just here to noise people up, troll and spout rubbish then move on. Im in the process of spending a reasonable wedge modifying my near £60k motor and there has been a lot of serious consideration, planning, application of capital and homework on my and other peoples part to make it happen. Your chat is nigh on useless and childish.

    I was adding to the debate but you though your teddy out the pram. I was not the only one who doubted your 1250nm claim but I'm the trolling child. If you think your 60k car can handle it go for it.
