Hi ya , yes I know of a chap who upped the boost on the w12 and to great effect to such an extent that he out ran a 458 his son was driving at the time it can be a savagely quick bit of equipment , his was chrining out 700hp, the only thing with it is the engine itself is pretty unburstable and running pretty low boost out of the box circa 0.3-0.4 bar 6psi as soon as you get up to 1 bar 14.5psi then things heat up incredibly quickly and your intake temperature can get very very hot , so cooling fast becomes and issue so my advice would be 0.7 bar is a realistic safe max with your current intercoolers . I'd also say that the gearbox would need a good service prior to you doing this and check the wear on the clutch packs and maybe look at internal pressure adjustments to minimise slippage of these packs due to the extra torque .

Thanks..I think stage 1 makes sense as most engines are under tuned. Also may give ut a smoother performance across the range.
