Stock clutch potential

Anyone that I've ever read about upgrading their tranny by levelten has had an issue. The tranny might be rock solid after an upgrade, but it will shift like a school bus and you'll eventually hate life and wished you sold your car for a manual. Thats the consensus that I have gathered after reading up on it over the years.

^^^ exactly. And what is levelten chargin nowadays? $3-4k for the tc & vb? That's enough to get a newer manuel and lose $$$ on selling your AT. That's why I won't do anything to my tip. Just wait out the winter and get a 6MT

How long have they been running those turbos on their auto's? And who are they? Did they do any upgrades like from levelten? I know it's been done, but I'd have serious doubts about longevity and driveability. Tip is sloshy enough with a chip, I can only imagine how it would bog down between shifts with the use of a bt.

When we installed a new stock clutch in my wife's A4, I was pretty disappointed in that I can't break the tires loose (Z rated tires) on dry ground no matter how I tried. Looks like it would just slip... Her car is putting out around 160hp to the wheels per my Gtech pro. The results of this are on par with a "Dyno Dynamics" dyno.

The DSM awd is much different then the A4 torsen. The DSM uses the haldex system which is the setup Audi uses for the TT and R32.
