i dont know about the 2.6 but the injectors on most audis will do fine unless you are heavily modded

Default I disagree. The stock injectors are good only to 225 HP...

AND if you dial up the duty cycle to 90+. This reduces the reliablity and longevity wonce you ramp above 95%. The car might need to run lean too to extract that much HP from the puny270cc injectors that the car comes with, leavig the chance for pinging and detonation.

Larger injectors are definitely the way to go, but REQUIRES special tuning and ECU programming to deal with the greater flow potential. the duty cycle is lower for a given RPM than stock, and if this is not done right, you run VERY rich. Might not even run at all.
