This is a Manual according to first post. Would that still be a DQ250?

The only practical experience I have is with my Leon and a mate's A3.

Both cars had the MQ250 box and 150ps, although mine was a 1.4 TSI and his a 2.0 TDI. Both cars were mapped, and his still runs to this day, albeit with a new clutch. Mine was sold before it became an issue, although I had no issues. His has more torque than a stock vRS, so it makes sense.

As above, the MQ250 gearbox is absolutely fine - I’ve seen 500nm plus put through it. The only limiting factor is the clutch, which is already happy at 250nm.

Won’t be chasing mega power

Stage 1 map be enough
