say with the built motor and a bigger turbo...i'm looking to make about 450whp..
from my understanding, only first gear is weak in the stock trans right? so i can just go easy in first gear and be fairly safe? anything else i should look into?

the clutch. If you had a wide first gear, say in an RS2 tranny, and a good strong clutch, then the next weak point is the rear diff (it can blow up during a hard launch, once nothing else breaks ahead of it).
Straight answers to your question.
Re: injectors, I think the answer is a big NO. But you should ask it as a separate post/question to keep the thread clean.

I learned about launching and clutches the hard way in the first 3 or so months of owning my 93 S4 (back in 1998).
New clutch, installed = $1000 back then.

That sometimes people don't want to hear?
Probably.

Or I could say be very thorough. He asked the question and got the answer of all the weak spots. If he is asking what the weak spots are, he shouldn't be angry when someone responds with a weak spot that may seem obvious to him. We don't know that he already knows this particular weak area. So maybe he thought you were just breaking balls.
