So considering my wife begged me to get a slushbox in the new Jetta, I am wondering what kind of power I can make before she starts acting up?

This is an '04 with the "good" 09A 5 speed Tiptronic.

I know there are cars running RC1+... what else? Anyone running a bigger turbo? etc?

Thanks

We have a 2004 with the 5 speed tip

our power upgrade is a diesel tuning digi pd box set to max "f"

no problems so far at 120,000 km

we did a fluid change at about 95,000

In reality, you could do a VNT 17 or 17/22 hybrid turbo upgrade, PD150 injectors, and RC3 tune and the tiptronic could handle it. It should support up to 150 hp. Apparently those 5spd auto w/tiptronic are pretty robust. I don't suggest more than RC1+ with the stock turbo though.
