DQ200 Gearbox - Power limit?

[azi1z92]

I have an Audi A3 2009 – S line.

It is a 1.8T CDAA Engine with 160bhp as standard with a DSG Gearbox code 7 SPEED -0AM DRY CLUTCH. (DQ200)

I am looking to get a performance clutch fitted to my car as I want to take it to stage 1 220BHP.

Can a DQ200 gearbox handle this map?

Cheers

Found this link that claims the gearbox can take 350bhp/400n/m

Bare in mind I believe this gearbox was fitted to vag cars with stock engines of 250bhp. The fact you're updating the clutch will help this. I'd also recommend a gearbox oil change. Also it might be worth seeing if the gearbox itself can be remapped.

I have just had the gearbox oil changed.

A performance clutch will be fitted next week.

Do you reckon I can still handle the map without a dsg remap but with a performance clutch?

From what I've researched you should be ok. But please check the links in my previous post to decide for yourself.
