Oh man, this is killing me...have we confirmed TDC at #1 firing position??!?!?!?

I recommend that you confirm TDC and make sure the distributor/rotor is aligned with #1 plug wire when #1 piston is at TDC. That, plus all the fuel stuff mentioned and it should fire. Although I am a big advocate for ethanol free gas to reduce uncertainty, I've seen some A4's run on some s#!tty stuff...but the timing has to be right and the wires have to be in the right order. Make sure the timing is not out 180°.. (TDC is when you feel pressure on your thumb while it is over the #1 plug hole as the piston comes up...the roll pin should also be straight up and down at this point).
