Hi all so here is my story about what happened and what the options .
I took the car to the drag on Friday last week , first pass
not bad of the start from idle
second pass , of 3000 rpm and ... that
I took it to the dealer , they said we will cover it with warranty , we will get you new trans from Germany .
I was thinking about that few day and I declined , I said to pull the trans and engine out , replacing the turbochargers , DP, weistec bulletproof trans . the gave me about 1k discount on labor . I'm paying for everything . you play you pay . The reason I declined their offer to warranty the trans - I'd brake it again in no time .
Thanks for reading

what i want to know is did anyone report the kidnapping going off in the righthand side of this ^^ pic? dude is rear-naked choking the ginger kid and running off with the kid while everyone else is watching a scooter pull a mercedes!
all I can say is I never needed a tow with my audis . my S6 did 30-40 hard launches while I bumped almost 300 hp while benz failed at 120-130 over stock .
even a weistec built transmission probably wouldnt of prevented that then as the weistec build uses stock output shaft.... must of been some manufacturing defect in your output shaft for it to break on just a tune
Note: Weistec Engineering thoroughly inspects the entire transmission upon arrival. During the build process it is important to understand that wear and tear items (such as clutches, seals, and gaskets) are replaced. Parts such as input shafts, output shafts, casing, etc. are not replaced in the build process.
edit: i do see weistec cryogenically hardens the shafts and gears so that should give it about 30% more strength..... but still think original shaft on this car must of had some freak defect to break on tune only car when many others have pushed stock 722.9 tranny well past m157 tune only power levels with no issues
