Just keep changing your fluid and you'll be good.
These DCTs are/were left mechanically stock when they were raced by VW.

Did you have a problem w overheating or is the stock cooling system fine

Stock cooling is fine for stage 2, I will eventually be going stage 4 / custom and only then will I be watching oil temp / dsg temp.

If it gets too hot running a GTB2266 + CP3 I'll add auxilary oil and trans cooling

For the record, I have not been kind to my Stage 2 so far. I am in the camp of drive diesels hard to keep em clean and working.

I am deleted, ran 3inch to stock muffler for a while, then full straight pipe, now using a rawtek resonator rest is straight pipe

I am unsure what you mean by chunks coming out on stock

Hey LC,
Why did you delete your muffler and use a resonator?
Some just keep the muffler and all else is deleted to the turbo.

My stock exhaust was starting to really corrode away, the muffler pipe kept popping out of the 3 inch adapter, eventually I got annoyed with fixing it and just ordered a catback.

I thought I could deal with the straight pipe, infact I did for some months and a couple thousand miles. Then I got a job that required 100 mile commute round trip and I bought a resonator shortly after getting hired.. lol
