unfortunately, in 0-2 years, you'll need a rebuild. it's not if the clutch packs will slip or not, it's when.
My car has had DCI and tune since after break-in period, so I've got about 4k on my car with "more power." I haven't been running as high torque for as long, but just sharing an ACTUAL experience instead of the perpetuated repetition of "DCT's can't handle upgraded power, they will slip and get damaged eventually."

Could you please enlighten me with some examples and facts, instead of just commenting to be a dick? Of all the searching I did, I had a hard time finding info of actual cars with problems with their DCT's slipping and not able to hold their power. All except for one example of a car thrashed with LC after LC after LC at the track.

All I want to do is add actual examples to the discussion of DCT slipping instead of just he said she said, one example being mine.
