Ratiowise i would be ok for street use although first is still low. In my build thread i have a newer version of the gear ration chart. which also shows the RPM drop at each shift. may be you fill in your ratios there and check.

The AUDI gearbox has another drawback in my opionion. The position of the drive shafts is pretty low. So usually you have to mount the engine-trans combo a full inch higher than with a porsche or a zf. This in itself has several drawbacks:
higher point of gravity
less clearance towards rearclip for exhaust
less clearance towards window of rearclip for aircleaner
Of course it will work fine but it is just less optimal. BTW your transmissionbuilder will also ask for some money. my reco do a market research in parralel on G50´s and compare where you end up finaly
