Hi Bastian (if I remember right),

nice to see some people from the V8Q list here.

I personally made bad experiences with ADZ transmissions even in the cars they originally came from (220V standard setup). Even though, most people claim that the transmission can be easily used up to 350HP and siginificantly more than 400Nm the 4,2 actually applies. I personally doubt that but that seems to be the common experience. Even most RS2-conversion with 320HP+ use the original gearbox instead of taking the original one from the RS2.

On the other hand it raises the question why Audi has enforded the gearbox for just 30NM+ the 3,6 V8 has compared to the 220TQ (309Nm).
