How much power can the S3 handle on stock internals?

Anyone know how much the S3 can handle power wise on stock internals?

I would say its probably good for 400 horsepower.

400bhp sounds like an attainable goal, it will be interesting to see now that the R is here and more tuners jumping on board.

We've got around 438hp (stock turbos) with W/M kit

I believe that it could go up to 500hp+ with upgraded turbo and W/M kit plus MS109 VP fuel.

Any way the DSG needs to be upgraded as well to handle the power after 450hp+
