2018 Audi S4: Max hp/torque from stock

[Bsquared]

Hello,
What's the max (safest) hp/torque for 2018 S4 stock motor, before requiring engine hardware/internal upgrades?
I'm looking into upgrading my turbo as soon as my dealer warranty expires, & want to know what my limits are for intial turbo upgrade on stock motor.
Thanks for any info.

Nobody knows the limit yet because there haven't been any blown motors wide spread. All of the "stage 3" cars that are running with the hybrid turbos are just bolt ons. So essentially already over 550-600whp. I believe at one point 034 said something about keeping the torque under 600 or along those lines but I don't recall the specific numbers.

For turbo cars, Torque is the rod bending factor, and 720 crank tq seems safe so far.
