Have you measured fuel pressure or AFR at WOT?
It'll run "fine" at 14 AFR also, it'll just melt your pistons in the process eventually.

no,but if it was going to cause any damage it would have done so by now(has its knackers caned off everyday)

NB. it was actually an S6 not S4,(not that there is a difference)

It does have knock control, so if it's going only a little lean I doubt it'd blow up.

Sorry, but I like to measure things and make sure, not take them for granted, based on "that didn't blow up yet".
I am not trying to have a dig at you, just there's no hard data to go off, and they do replace them on A4's for a reason (goes lean up top at 300 bhp).
