On a A4? If it's a GTI, I think his motor should be gone. lol

yes and no. AWPs are the same between models, but the transverse and longitudinal motors do have differences. And if he's running 16psi on a that turbo his injectors are maxed out. Most people upgrad to 440cc injectors and some go bigger.

What chip is he using?

Curry's in NOVA (or Richmond)? They used to sell GIAC, but I think they have dropped that side of the business. If so, I don't know how he's running the stock injectors. Doesn't seem right to me...

A beater is anything you drive to keep your miles off of your fast one (or while the fast one is broken ). I agree, it's nice and I am very fortunate to have it.
