Default Beefed up A6

Does anyone beef up the A6 trannys like the modified A4 trannys. If so how strong are they compared to the nodified A4s.

Stand by, I'm sure member thesubfloor will chime in to help you. He seems to have found a quality trans builder, Century Trans in Texas. Here's a running thread that will tell you about it. Good luck.

Century Trans just got an A6 from me today that they will upgrade. I'm at about 680-ish WHP (haven't dynoed yet at current psi). I'm hoping it will last a long time. My current trans is still good, just looking to make it better.

I'll probably update my original thread after this weekend but as of last Friday I'm up to 84 perfectly clean passes and counting.

If it was my car you're talking about go to YouTube and do a search on "thesubfloor" and make sure you include the quotes.
