Default APR A3 vs. A4

Interesting that the A3 2.0T does better than the A4 2.0T.

I'm sure DSG helps quite a bit too.

The A3 is a smaller car, plus it doesn't have quattro... of course it would get to 60 mph faster.

Default It must have to do with the layout of the engine and exhaust.

How else would APR get more for the A3 than the A4?

but no Turbo on that car, 2.0T has much more potential then the 3.2, just like 1.8T>3.0

weight has nothing to do with how much HP the chip makes, 0-60 yes, but that wasnt asked.

Default Actually it has to do with....

Timing issues, the FMIC on the A3 and GTI allows for lower intake temperatures allowing to run more timing.
The A4 has 2 dual side mount IC's that just dont "work" as well as the FMIC.
I hope this explains a bit...
