Generally speaking, a stock tranny with nothing more than a simply shift kit will do quite well at 425 RWHP if running NA...might even do ok without the shift kit. Much above this and I think upgraded clutch packs are a must. At 500 RWHP even the hard parts start to become a problem so it's time for more serious upgrades.
People's luck with A4 trannys seems to vary ALOT!
