Default How strong are my parts?

All right my ultimate question is just how strong are the stock tranny and motor? I have a choice to install a turbo or blower or go with a 400 and built rear. Im an A4 right now, so I m not worried about the rear at all. But with 11lbs how will the tranny hold up?

Your tranny will not hold up at all. At 530rwhp mine went out in about a month with no upshifting or downshifting under power. Only in gear did I get in the throttle. 2nd 3rd and 4th are all gone now! My car is running about 8psi but I am also mildly modded. Huge cam.

Go with the 400 and built rear. Only do the turbo if you can afford the latter two as well. Same with a blower but the blower option is cheaper.
