I wonder if the hard DCT shifts, and the effect that has on crank rpm, can be an issue here, as we have discussed before...

Was there a JB4 on the car when it happened?
The kickdown has something to do with it. Every time it happened to me, I had hit the kickdown.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it

I think my initial thoughts on this a while ago seems to correspond well with what you state here. Which would also mean that using a upgraded clutch package and a single mass flywheel most likely will increase the possibility of a failure... And that a "fix" would be beneficial on a tuned engine used for drag racing
