Default Doing Turbo but need help in other areas

This in the FI area since I will be going with APS TT setup.

I sold my C5 418 stroker and Iam preparing for my first C6 vert endevor.

Car = C6 vert
Auto = A4 or A6

Criteria of the car is as follows: Must be bullet proofed as much as possible. Motor 600 rwhp min. max $$$ to be spent on these mods $15,000 (doesn;t include turbo install or cost)

I assume the tranny will need to be upgraded but many people say the A6 is strong while others are doing C5 Z06 swaps. Opionons would be nice for a 600 rwhp auto that can do well on street or track.

Iam looking for improvements to the ENTIRE car once the turbo is installed.

Looking for suggestions for performane mods??

In my experience the only tire that can come close to handling that kind of power would be Nitto 555 RII's. They don't last long but grip very well. They only come in 17 and 18 size, 275 for the front and 305 on the rear. Drag radials would work on back but their soft sidewalls drive me crazy when I drive them on the street.

PM user Schilitj. He has 587 hp and mods to handle it.
