PP is far best from videos i have seen.
I heard as long as you don't touch 800hp you tranny should be able to hold it.

upgrade turbos may need an upgraded clutch and tranny.

but I'm sure fellas here will chime in.
I think a few of us won't want to void warranties..lol.

yes 800whp.

From the research I've done and the handful of people I've spoken to, the 6MT's are good enough for at least 900whp... at which point you'll probably need an upgraded clutch.
You're good for 700whp with Downpipes, Tune (PP Stage 2), Exhaust, and Meth.

Anything over 750whp, you'll need turbo's... no sense in intakes till you get turbos... but that's just my opinion.

do you if this trany is the same trany that has been used in old m5

The manual variant is only offered officially in USA and Canada.

Was it difficult to import a US-Spec unit into Kuwait?

Wills2 · 07-27-2015, 11:37 AM

Has that M5 above got the much rumoured "Pool party exec pack" option?

no actually kuwait has the same spec of us-spec
plus there no tax for import so i just paid the shipping fees which is 1400$

in kuwait you need to have 700 WHP most of the cars here is above 650
check out this video

you will see that every day on the highway so i want to show them whats a v8 TT can do
