I share the opinion of many other listers - there is no such official
Audi part.

Audi dealers in Germany have not heard of it.

Jo Hoppen says such an official thing never existed.  He says it's
probably a name that was put on "something" by some tuning shop to
make it seem semi-official, and better than RS2.

You surely know how that marketing thought goes ...  we'll call it
a "gizmo plus" and it'll sell better than an original "gizmo".
That's not to say that some tuner's turbo hybrid isn't better than
a RS2 turbo under some circumstances.  Much of turbo tuning is a
compromise, so read the fine print carefully ...  be sure to ask
for the fine print so you can read it.
