I saw it posted before but can't find it. Why does the A3 chipped by APR get more HP than the A4 also chipped by APR?

something about the intercoolers, a3 has a larger one I believe so they can keep the temps down alittle more.

The A3 has a single FMIC which, I believe, is a bit more efficient than the dual SMICs in the A4. FWD has less drivetrain loss than AWD....so maybe a little of both.

And also timming issues that favor the A3 due to the fact of it having a fmic rather than dsmic.
