Yes,

That is normal. Overboost is strictly a function of ambient, intake
temperature, RPM, Throttle position and barometric pressure.

It is also limited to no more than 15 seconds to reduce wear and tear on the
transmission.

I like the accident theory, but until I see hard data I will stick with the
"official Audi story."
