multitronic question...

i just picked up an '03 1.8t fwd with the multitronic transmission. Can this tranny handle a chip or ecu flash? what would be the safest torque number that it can handle? thanks in advance!

How does multitronic work since there are no gears or shifting?

RE: multitronic question...

thanks for replies. i checked out their site and i didn't find a specific part number for the CVT. Does anyone know the power figures or a dyno graph to determine the torque plot?
