Congratulations G-power! Especially considering you did absolutely nothing to beef-up the transmission to handle your extra torque.
As an engineer, I can say there's not much worse than getting someone to buy something because you blew away the stock specification, but didn't bother to tell them that you blew away the reliability as well.

No warranty though, since it went 54K miles.
I'll be interested to see what the G-power 'warranty' is. If G-power has done anything to relieve the stress on the DCT, they didn't say so. I suspect they haven't done a thing.
