Accoring to some rumors 908HDi had 800hp in 2008, down to 700hp in 2009 and again close to 800hp in 2010 against 590-650hp of R15 engine. According to some other le mans 2011 rumors, the v8 twin turbo peugeot had a power of 650hp, being the 908 the only car able to hit over 340km/h like the more powerfull 908HDi of previous seasons.
That doesnt mean to say that there isnt some aspect of the pug engine that could help Audi and apparently has.
