Holy f**k, dude....I'll give you "that's dedication"...but couldn't we have looked around for one before you dug into your pocket...?

Every VW engine has an engine code, typically two-digits alphanumeric. That engine code is unique for the equipment, and results in an output. there are rare cases where the same engine code has "in reality" different engine outputs, but in those rare cases it's kinda like the 1.8L Miata where there's two ratings, but for a reasonable point (e.g., the whole G-grind camshaft thing, which was in reality a parts-system superceded camshaft.)

Your goal will be to find what engine codes were used throughout the Audi Coupe GT range (they'll be listed in the front of the book in a "specs" section) and, if necessary, classify the cars based on those engine codes, which themselves determine output.

Kudos, bud. But next time let's see if we can't do it cheaper...
