2.5Ts can be tuned "off the shelf" to 310bhp via BSR in Sweden (http://en.bsr.se/products/t502/). Presumably UK tuners can do it too :P

HOWEVER BSR lists the AWD seperately, so I assume they don't think the system can handle the "mild" increase to 310bhp.

The AWD system won't like the abuse and extra torque, it will wear the system faster. Uprate it by all means, but be prepared to possibly replace components in the future, I have had to replace some bits on mine.
