I'm still ready for more power but I'm not ready for the bill that comes with wrecking a DSG!

Need like 650chp or vr6 torque to start getting to that point. Mine was at 33-34psi but I ran a ton of passes at 30psi no problems
Then fix it and add more to repeat, lol

Ready to race!
the boost curve must be smooth so you can avoid DSG slippage.
I burnt two factory clutch sets and one Dodson clutch set because of boost coming up too fast, this is what I figured out after burnt too much money on exchanging clutch sets and DSG mech (due to extreme temps). Or you can find a good tuner who is able to make your clamping force increased to like 15-16bar.
Noted some of those big name DSG brands mentions increased clamping force in the file but it actuality does not increase on some DSG mechs, at least this was what I saw on my friend's car. In my opinion, the maps they adjusted for increasing clamping force are different on those DSG mechs that is not able to have clamping pressure increased.

I think the atp stock location kits are the cheapest way to go BT, the manifold design is less than optimal but will get you to your power goals. Of course you never said you we're looking to do it on the cheap so a stage 3 kit from one of the tuners may be the route to go since it's an all inclusive solution. You may get told by some to just go k04 or similar with those power goals but having done the F23 and now looking to go BT I say you're on the right path, do it once do it right [emoji106]

Yeah, I won't say money is no object because that wouldn't be true. I am just looking for more than k04 without having to build up motor or do fueling. I was under the impression that stage 3 kits required those upgrades. Plus I think 400hp+ would be too much for my usual street application.
I am already eurodyne tuned because of my original build plan, so ideally I would want a kit solution that would not require a new tuner. I'm not in a rush and I am willing to ro the research. That's how I ended up here.

My plan was to wait for the mk8 but now they've released the mk7.5 refresh the wait may be a little longer than I anticipated...

Tell me about it.
Mk7s are such a better platform on the whole. Lighter, better fuel system, out of the box lsd, no oil issues.
I wish someone would just give me like $14k for the thing so I could move along. I made a spreadsheet a few weeks ago, and selling at crack used prices there is at least $11k worth of shit on this thing, and that's not counting getting anything for the motor stuff. So basically 3k for the car, 11k for parts. Anyone? LOL.
Edit: And agreed, out of the box LSD, stupid power with an OEM turbo, not to mention LIGHT. I know HS Tunings base model 4 door MK7 without the spare or tools weighed 2800 pounds..
