i had heard that thge dsg box is only good for 360nm torque (??!!). can anyone confirm (or hopefully deny) this?

**GoLfMan** · 30-11-2005, 07:38 PM

yes in fact the dsg cant take much more than 360, but the MK5 R32 one can tke 380nm :twisted:

Does anyone know how strong the manual box is.

I am looking into ordering it at the moment, but cant find any details on the strength of the manual.

Gooday! I have a mk 5 gti that I have upgraded with the APR mod. It can be fitted via the internet with an APR dealer. No need to remove the computor or anything like that. You can have a free 6 hr. test to see what its like. Another beauty is that it is switchable so if you have to return the car for warranty, a simple press on the cruise control button can put it back to std. I have the std program, 95 octane program & 98 octane program. In the 98 oct program you get an extra 44 kws & 411 nm. of torque in the lower rev range. Takes very little time to do this mod & the advantages are huge!!!! The traction control works overtime.
the DSG boxes limit via computors the amount of torque that the gearbox will take on take off. Apparently no probs with them yet.
My gti is a manual. Check out, www.goapr.com Awesome performance, well worth it. Makes a great car better!!!!

Its a pity your in Tassie , Seems so many APR gti owners here in Sydney dont want to come out and race at WSID with me .

**gtimk5** · 26-04-2006, 01:15 PM

Hey! The GTI goes SOOO much better now the weather has cooled right down. Didn't think it would make that much difference. Nearly took my Mk1 to the mainland to do some sprints tho I have sold the 9A out of it.

Thats because you beat them I recon

**Bug_racer** · 27-04-2006, 09:23 AM

Thats probably true . Be prepared for a showdown between Giac stage 3 and APR stage 3 at the end of this year . I'll be heading to Queensland to race

Hi everyone,
I'm the proud owner of a new black GTi, about a week old. Had a question about connecting an ipod and have been looking for a forum such as this. Does anyone know if this is possible so that it operates via the general stereo controls. Just wondering what make of sound system it is as that may give a clue as to what may work. I also have a Subaru 3.0RB which I've connected the ipod up to via a Clarion piece of kit.
Cheers and look forward to to being a part of this forum..
