That would be straining it. I have seen some units pushed to 500nm+, this would affect the reliability of the tranny considerably</blockquote>Not really. There are still some 177bhp rides in the group with DTUK (though not at max setting). Not sure if that would affect the longetivity of the transmission though.The highest torque recorded for a 2011 320d with PPK+DTUK was 462Nm. Pretty much maxed out on stock basis (in order not to trigger CEL) unless more hardware mods ie. bigger intercooler/turbo etc + a good remap, not piggyback. How did those units achieved 500Nm?[/QUOTE]
