PDK. Have the tuning companies cracked it?

Ruf Rt35 PDK - 630 hp ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg0NYS4AFMQ )


I thought 550 was approx the max (safely) for PDK? Are we going to start seeing more 600hp+ 997.2 PDK turbo's?

630-640 is possible with software changes only - already done this
Key is anything above which is hardware - nightmare as before you start you have to cut the box open and I mean cut!!!

Cheers Ken. Still the same situation then.... Do you think we will ever see a 700+hp turbo PDK?

[mrdemon]

Do we need one
A stock s does 6.7 to 100 mph anyway

I am sure. 650bhp is enough for any one.

We will for sure. We done the same thing on the tiptronic as our upgrade is able to handle 1500nm tq so no issues. The problem is the fact that you have to cut the box open - it is a sealed unit. Materials inside then need to be changed but the electronics do as we'll - electronics are very - problem is 7th gear - it has some strange issues!

At the moment you put in a 1000hp engine and it will run just the same as normal turbo - electronic restrict as soon as slip happens.
