Correct me if I'm wrong.

The oem TT auto tranny can hold about 500rwhp, depending on how hard you drive it, and what kind&size of tires you run.

Yes, 500rwhp+ with a 6spd does require a certain level of skill. A forced-induction vehicle is variable-horsepower (depending on boost level). If boost hits while you're cornering, it's almost completely unmanageable. With lots of track time and lots of patience you can learn to keep it off the walls...
