Default Not really how much boost, but the tuning will be key.
You can run up to 23psi if you want, but the main key is not going past the injectors so that the car then leans out.

Default One of the VW guys ran 500hp on a stock block before it blew.....
but like Mike said, you'll run out of injector way before that happens.

He was only running 26 psi and the rest was made by running a big shot of nos.

Also, the A4 fuel pump will only flow 29 gallons per hour, enough to support around 360ish hp

It's still amazing how the stock bottom can handle so much.

Default IIRC, he was using an additional injector setup to add the extra fuel that was needed....
which should work, but I'm not a big fan of add-on fuel/air modifiers. I prefer to let the ECU handle everything, otherwise the ECU may not be able to react accordingly to the situation.
