Default Manual transmission torque limit

I tried searching but couldn't find a clear answer, does anybody have information about the torque limit of the 991.2 7M transmission and clutch, specifically as it relates to tuning? I'm considering a 991.2 but want to make sure the 7M components can handle the torque of a stage 1 or stage 2 tune, otherwise I may need to go with a PDK.

Thanks

There are countless manual 991 owners here running Stage 1 and 2 tunes from APR, Cobb, etc. without problems - what level of torque are you expecting to exceed?

Pull up the past issue of Pano. I think it was September. BGB did a great story about a tuned 911T with PDK. It was their version of a modern day "yellow bird". I think they got just over 100 hp and 75 torque. That should give you an idea on the added numbers the 7MT can accommodate. John's full name it in the write-up.

An off the shelf tune will get you there, and if you want it customized a pro tune will help get you a little more and smooth things out, which I may do as well and since BGB is fairly close they may do it.
