Default A4 bolt-on items

I am looking to do some preventive measures on my TA to keep my A4 as long as I can until I can do my M6 swap. I am looking to do some mild boost from a turbo and some bolt-ons. I know that a tranny cooler, deep pan, and shift kit helps, but is there anything else I should do? Granted, I am not looking to put sticky DRs or slick on this car, but I am going to do some high speed runs on the audobahn here in Germany. With 3.42 gears I intend to install, I could easily attempt a 200mph top speed. But I don't want to buy a HD tranny for this car since I want to swap in the M6 from the Formula. So other than what I have already stated, what else I can do?

I would update the accumulator pistons from the plastic to the aluminum ones. Also if you are doing 4th gear max speed runs, it might be a good idea to install a sonnax fourth servo. When you do this tighten the band up with the shims supplied in the transgo kit.

I thought you are not supposed to do full throttle in 4th. will the servo fix the problem of it being weak? interesting hope this keeps going.

side note: with the 3.42 gear mine tops 135mph in third at 6150rpm.
