There are many 500-600 hp C6's with the A6 running around with no issues. Mine included. You're giving bad info there.

You seem to read and write English pretty well. Why dont you do grab a cup of coffee do some reading on this fine forum and figure out the basics and what might suit your needs then ask some questions. There are several members here from your region, why dont you do a search here and see what they did. Good luck.
A couple guys you might want to talk to...

i was thinking of going forged internals and a supercharger
but with the heat during the summer Heat soak will be a rpoblem
and may become an issue, as for TT their installation is abit of a pain and a bit expensive
so the best solution is a nice built block
looking for no more than 650 RWHP

Not to mention he's in Kuwait. Not many A6's shops around. Do you realize that 60 celcius is around 140 outside?

If I were you, I would run a large stroker N/A and get as close to 600-650rwhp as possible. Search Vengeance racing and a few others that have made tremendous power N/A but it's not cheap. There is no cheap way to get that power but N/A is the most appealing, IMHO.
As far as the A6, search as much as you can and come to your own conclusion. Here is the most recent thread-

I would have no faith running over 600rwhp in a stock A6 for long.

You say you want a monster? Go with a forged 416 stroker built for boost. Then, put a big centri s/c on the car with a big intercooler and lots of meth to keep things cool. Don't forget to build the entire drive line and fuel system to handle all this new found power. You should easily make 700-800 rwhp with that setup on a mild (10-12 psi) boost setting.

We all know the general rule is 500-550rwhp for an A6, c'mon dude you know that. Others are just easier on thier cars, mine would act up sometimes at 460rwhp. You can't honestly tell the guy that over 550-600+rwhp......"You'll be great buddy, no issues"?

We also have alot of guys from Texas, Arizona, N. Mexico....where it gets pretty damn hot also. Im not saying the A6 is bulletproof and nor did I say "you will be OK buddy" but I also wouldnt say it wont hold together either or be "eaten". We all know that increasing powers that much can cause failure down the road.
And there are a few Kuwait people here who have wicked fast Corvettes and get them worked on somewhere there, dude.

We've got a nice 457 or 468 build that will give you 650 hp n/a on pump gas.
We're shipping something similar to another customer over there as well and handling the fluid cooling/management for him as well as the trans and rear upgrades.
Its all about the budget.

We're not talking about overseas work, we're talking about building a combination and shipping it overseas. Our engines are all over the world, we do very well shipping overseas

Nice revisionist history there. Your two posts say something different. I said there are many of us between 500-600rwhp with no issues. Your first post implies that between 500-600 hes going to blow it up. The proof isnt in the puddin to support your first statement. Do a search on A6 S/C'd cars, theres lots of us still tearing up the street on OE transmissions.
We also have alot of guys from Texas, Arizona, N. Mexico....where it gets pretty damn hot also. Im not saying the A6 is bulletproof and nor did I say "you will be OK buddy" but I also wouldnt say it wont hold together either or be "eaten".

Instead of you and I going back and forth messing up his thread, I'll help him get a bigger picture of the A6 here on CF.

That will give you a clear picture of the A6. If you hook and you drive it hard, good luck. If you're easy on it and run a street tire, you can gamble up to 700rwhp for .....well no idea. That's as real as it gets-

Pick one vendor to build and ship your parts. They know exactly what you're getting and how to handle your goals. 600-650rwhp N/A is as sweet as it gets IMHO-
