   I'd have to disagree with you there Robert.  My Big Beast (5KCSTQ) has no 
   prollum hitting the limiter in third or fouth, does 30-70 in 7.8sec's and 
   still has the stock cam, Albeit advanced one tooth, other than that all I 
   got's is a IA2, Adj Wastegate, Pop-off valve, K&N, and Platins.  Next 

Oh, well, if that's *all* ya's got to play with...

What boost level? circa 18PSI?

IA2 probably plays with timing too, eh?

I'd be surprised if the UrQ and 5KCSTQ have the *same* cam. I'll be glad
to lend ya my ole stock cam . . . (mechanical not hydraulic!) My very
vague understanding is that the 5K were much more mildly tuned (i.e.,
for a wider and smoother torque curve) compared to the [cough cough]
sporty UrQ...

So what is the "pull" of the engine? Is is linear? "peaky"? Come on strong
at some point? Pull strongly to redline? As stongly as at 4000?

All I can say is switching cams added 1500 rpm to my engine's power band,
nearly doubling its width. Maybe Audi decided to "fix" their cams by the
time of your model year (mine's '83).
