I'm looking at doing some little tweaks at MRC
Has anyone had any experience with doing such ?

MRC would be the people to ask
Last time I spoke to Doug about it (in passing) he said very few people are touching their B8's - mostly are concerned about warranty issues for minimal gains.

In my RS5 I had them do a full carbon clean, stage 2 remap and a gearbox remap

The big question is... is the dual clutch gearbox strong enough for the supercharger upgrade.....

With torque limit I'd guess. What does the S6/7 push out? That's got to be limit.

S6/7 is a book figure of 414hp and MRC have got that upto 500hp and Sportmile (I think) have one at 700hp using RS6 turbos, all on the standard box.

If it's anything like a VW DSG then you can put better clutch packs in it. I imagine that wouldn't be easy but it's been done on R32 turbo upgrades innit. However, apparently a decent DSG/S-Tronic map will increase clutch longevity, clamping force and getting it to handle good power, as Ian has just said.
