Question How Much Will It Hold?

I thinking of doing a custom rear-mount turbo setup on my new T/A and was wondering how much power a stock A4 & converter will hold. It sounds kinda noobish, but I'm new to autos. I'm aiming for 450-500rwhp and I won't be racing it, just street driving.

I searched for him and came up with nothing. I think I'm gonna do it anyway, because if it'll hold, I'll run her 'till she breaks.

When I went over 500 rwhp back in 2005 my tranny died within days. If you don't go into boost your tranny will be fine. Start getting into boost and it will be a matter of time before slip city shows up.
