No not totally, but sure can up the odds a bunch for a safer set-up. Sorry this happened TX Red, looks just like my ls6 intake that blew apart, however, mine was a high rpm backfire and no ws, hit limiter and it pulled fuel.

I dont even really use the top end of my window switch with the TH350. I really bought it for the T-56. If you miss a shift, the last thing you want to happen is to hit the rev limiter. I really don't know why you would need one in an A4 though.

A tranny that just decides to slip on you will do it.
