Check threads from mod Lt8che, he's got the Auto and over 500hp IIRC. Level 10 is where most go for AT buildups, get that platinum Visa cocked & ready

So for the 7AT, there's an upgraded flex plate, Valve Body and clutch packs available. I'd imagine that'd pretty much do it for handling up to 700hp. Level 10, I believe, can do an entire build-up on the 7AT for $3200 or thereabouts. I think they offer an entire built tranny, with no exchange, for $4K.

I parked outside of the taped off area so I doubt you would've saw my car, still has temp tags. I did see a couple G's next to a splatter paint wrapped M3

So at least $3500 to rebuild the tranny and another $6000 (at least) for a supercharger. Throw in labor, tuning and other misc cost to beef up the stock motor.

I'd say not worth it.

If you have money, might as well wait for the 2017 Q60 or trade your current setup for a 6MT coupe.
