if the A4 you are referring to is Mike Hoods, then i hope you know he recently broke his 2.8(suppossidly the strongest B5 transmission).. and many, many stage 3 B5 S4 owners(400-450Awhp) have destroyed transmission and many axles..

transmissions: $500-3000 + installation
axles: couple hundred and a pretty easy install

mike didnt break his 2.8 trans, he swapped the 1.8 back in for higher trap speeds
and as far as i've heard the only bullit proof trans is the b6 s4 6 speed..but there are only a few running it

Anyone know if the B6 3.0 6 speed tends to be reliable? At least more so than the 1.8T's.

Haha, well they all seem solid until you start pushing 500+ HP.
