All Audi I-5 engines I've seen fitted to Audi 4K, 5K, 80, 90, 100, 200,
and VW Quantum are canted at approx 15-20 degrees.

I don't believe "Piston Slap" is HYPE, as it was claimed.  I have a
question about the angle of the inline 5 as it is used in the Audi; do
the pistons travel vertically, or is there some angle set from
vertical?  I know from my EV that the engine is on an angle and if the
engine was designed to run upright, there is a very good chance of
piston slap.
