Some information contained in the latest EC magazine and UK VW/Audi car 
magazine says:

1.8 normal aspirated
bore: 81mm
stroke: 86.4 mm
disp: 1781 cc
CR: 10.3:1
DOC 5 valves per cylinder, 3 intake 2 exhaust
125 bhp at 5800 rpm
127.6 lb-ft at 3950 rpm
Bosch Motronic V3.2 with 2 knock sensors
uses 1 coil for 2 cylinders

1.8 turbocharged
bore: 81mm
stroke: 86.4 mm
disp: 1781 cc
CR: ?
DOC 5 valves per cylinder, 3 intake 2 exhaust
KKK-03 turbo
0.56 bar boost pressure
150 bhp at 5750 rpm
155 lb-ft at 1750 rpm
Bosch Motronic V3.2 with 2 knock sensors
uses 1 coil for each cylinder

In 1995, Audi will be using the A4 to replace the 80 competion model in 
european racing. Some of the 80 competion cars will be racing in the 2-litre 
series' in South Africa and Australia. The normally aspirated 1.8 litre will 
be used in the new A4 race cars and is expected to produce close to 300 bhp 
with one of the intake valves sealed.
