My car is FWD and all that I currently have (engine performance wise) is stage 1 chip, 710n dv, n75J valve, darintake w/ k&n drop-in, and testpipe. What I want to know is; am I at the threshold of the torque the CVT is capable of handling? Will it be a waste to upgrade to the TT225 386cc injectors and upgrade my programming to 1+ and thus guarantee tranny failure? I obviously did not get in depth enough in my research pre-purchase. I did not take the limitations of the tranny into consideration before I purchased car (I was never very clear on the difference between tip-tronic and multi-tronic until today). Does anybody have a modified multitronic that has had no issues pushing the torque over 230 ft/lbs? Without doing the tranny upgrade/rebuild? I have, like most people in our current economy, limited funds. I am so sad. So very very sad...

I should add that I'm not trying to make this a racecar, any hard driving or acceleration is limited to my whims and the occasional ******* in a ricer that needs to be humbled. I really just want a little more solid performance out of it and my last engine performance mod was going to be injectors and running a BI file.

 

i wish to add the same "potential" of power to my car, but i've heard that max we CVTers can do is K04 turbo, so about 250hp

 

What have you got for mods and where are you drawing the line? KO4 is no good for us anyhow being we have KO3s(hybrid KO4+KO3) not KO3, right?

 

By the by scskim your car looks sic man. Sweet ride!

 

im stock right now. ive just been collecting info on what i can do

 

It sucks hitting a brick wall with so little performance mods done. Engine capable of 900+ hp and we get to suck wind cause of weak tranny. WTF Audi!?

 

yea if i would've known, woulda looked into manuals

 

lol yea im in the same boat.. i have a giac tune, evo ms intake, evo ms dv, pro sport boost gauge.. was lookin into injectors, fmic, an turbo back but then started doin reserch an every1 is sayin that its not good 2 do that with a cvt.. pretty much feel the same way wtf audi..

 

Call a German Auto Technician

 

I did. Problem solved for me at least. Said with an upgraded tranny fluid(amsoil maybe I'm going to call them today to see if they offer a product) 350-400ft/lbs. is fine.
