I run 500+rwhp (on nitrous) with 3.90's in the 10bolt with a TA cover on Nitto DR's with no breakage. It all depends on how you drive it......if you don't want to be in the "is it gonna break?" frame of mind then get a 9" or S60.....The frequency of 12bolt's being broken with M6's has increased a good bit.

If you are running a A4 then the 10bolt should take a good amount of abuse then the 12bolt would be all you need.

430 Rwhp On Motor With A Built 10bolt ... Just Tore It Down After 2 Yrs Because The Spider Gears Cracked ..but Id Be Willing To Bet If I Hadent Power Slid The Car Thru Turns For All Those 10k Miles It Would Still Be Working Fine.... Also I Run 17x11 Nitto 555r's And Only Use The Car For Recreational Driving (ie: All 10k Miles Were Raceing And Hard Driving)
