I am considering remapping my Audi A5 2015 2.0 TFSI with automatic transmission (S tronic). The remap I´m considering is a Stage 1, which will increase the power from 225bhp/350Nm to 290bhp/440Nm.

My question is if the gearbox can withstand the torque increase? It´s widely discussed at different forums what the maximum torque on the S-tronic box is, but I haven´t read a clear answer. Wikipedia says 600Nm, but that may not be the best source. I asked my local Audi dealership, but the guy behind the desk had no answer.

I´ve also heard that there may be problems with the turbo. Is this something I should worry about?

Thank in advance!

Pretty much summed up my question too, although I wasn't able to find the answer as well.

I've been told if tuned correctly both ECU & gearbox then they roughly close to 550-580Nm depending on what mods you put on. I've got mine ECU remapped but looking to smoothen out the shifts so will need a gearbox remap too. Apart from I must add that in the long term you are bound have reliability issues.

All comes down to correctly tuning your car as remember no car is the same.

mines exactly same model, year, model & stock figures as yours I've got mine safely tuned to go upto 268bhp/410Nm just needs a gearbox tune badly as had enough of resetting throttle sensor.
