CIS turbo power/boost limits

[ed armstrong]

I remember seeing an article in European Car about 6
years ago on a tweeked 5000 tq. It apparently ran 20
psig boost and made 325 hp if my memory is correct. It
definetely had the CIS fueling but in conjunction with
other factory Audi "Sport" parts. What were they ??
The article was pretty vague...maybe car mag hype
material.
