Audi 01eE 6 speed box

[F.C.]

Does anyone here have any experience with this transaxle on a high power/high torque motor?
I have heard anecdotal stories of this box unmodified (2.7 diesel derived) of running and surviving >700BHP on slick tyres with no problems.
I haven't heard anyone quoting torque figures but I'm told there are people in the states running up to 1000 BHP through one of these boxes so the torque figure must easily be 650+ lbs/ft if true.

If its the box from the S2 then it will break the drive shafts before the gearbox breaks....Use Google there is loads on there about this box.

Drive shafts I can deal with, it's the spinney stuff inside the gearbox I'm concerned about.
