i doubt it as the torque limiter is still present in 1st to 3rd :wink:

even the plug in boxes only put the torque up to 590Nm

That's why mine is remapped lol although there's a lot more to come :lol:

The turbo is strong for 300hp

And the 620 I have is on a dyno print out ?

After a good play with the gearbox on the bench today there is defiantly a tooth missing somewhere

Hello,
Old topic, but I am new here and interested if you found some solution to this issue.. Is your gearbox now OK? Asking as I do have that gearbox of now and wondering, if I should reinforce something before tuning.
