PDK and performance upgrades.

I know this is a little premature but I was wondering something.

A lot of people are excited about the PDK.

The clutch system certainly seems complicated (and expensive)!

So when some of us decide to upgrade our turbos with ecus, exhaust and more, what happens with these clutches? Aftermarket PDK clutches? At what cost? Will PDK limit our ability to upgrade the power?

Just a thought.

Im sure it will be the weak spot of a well modded Turbo but Im sure it will be able to handle a mildly modded (think ECU and exhaust) car. Time will tell.

OCPorsche is infamous around these parts

Porsche designed this tranny 20+ years ago and has put it in their race cars for a while. I dont think they would make anything that was not able to handle a lot of power... I think
