We're on the same page - I was also talking the 6AT. On stock frames/RBs/VTT2s I wouldn't trust it much north of 500ish WHP, because torque comes on so violently. A standard 500WHP tune you should be totally fine.
With a single it's a bit unclear. I'll know soon enough...Dan (AK335) ran well over 700WHP through his and while the trans was not happy, to my knowledge it never let go or anything like that.
At 550-600WHP through a single turbo, it should be OK. The 6HP21 is a really good AT, and again the torque curve won't be as steep on spool.
What WHP would I take the motor to and feel comfortable? Depend on tuning....North of 700WHP you are rolling the dice IMO. Up to 600WHP this motor has proven itself time and time again, provided good tuning and a smart owner who doesn't cut corners or do dumb stuff.
