Default A4 to M6 Help needed

Hello everyone, sorry for opening this thread again I had no luck in the tech section I wanted to give it a shot here

Im converting my 2005 A4 to M6 and I have few questions

Ive read many threads and documents but there were no certain answers

Do I have to swap the differential? My dif has 3.15 gears and theres a spare dif at garage with 3.42s it is from an auto too. Are there any differences between auto and manual ones?

Are there any differences between Z06 and non Z06 manual torque tubes?

And I have really good deal on a trans but it is from a 2004 C5, Should I consider getting it? Are there any external differences that could effect the fitment?

My cars has an Ls3 on it and putting about 500whp that info maybe can be useful about the answers

Every bit of info will be great, Considering Im both short in time and budget

Thank you all and have a great weekend!

Many A4 upgrade to 3.42 rear, so you should be okay in that regard. You will need a tune for the gear change I think.
