If you google MQ250 - there are reports of them holding up ok to higher outputs, clutch normally being the weak link.
Drivetrains are really susceptible to how they are used - lots of launches will kill many transmissions.
Depends what your plans are? I'm sure it would be find a fine road car with a simple remap - if you want to make a track/drag tool then maybe a Cupra would be a better foundation.
I wanted to go a bit mental with it but still keep it as my daily, was thinking around 400-450nm but obviously ill have to look into wether anyone has gone that high and had any sort of longevity problems, but you might be right and a cupra might be the better option, tho I dont plan on launching it all the time as its gonna be a daily, Thank you for your help
