As in the title really.
Found this interesting chart that shows numerous chip/maps etc and the gains etc compared to factory map, covers most A4 b7's from 1.8t and beyond.
Quite a good ref point for those looking for performance gain specs etc.

yes i was thinking that aswell ,but it does give a good idea for potential gains across the B7 range, I would suspect that there is similar UK based data availble and would also be very close if not some the same figures.
from my understanding these stats are stage 1 figures .
anyway thought it was a handy ref starting point.
 
We could organise a similar thing ourselves... 4wd mobile RR at AITP2015?

They'd make a fortune and we'd get some interesting comparison info...

I actually started looking at this as was trying to pick tunes. Will post some of the info I managed to gather from websites and emails later if I get the chance.
 
Obviously the shape of the dynos are more helpful as is noting peak rpm etc, but this is what I did gather for stage 1 on a 2.0T (stock 197bhp):

Tuner/ Max bhp / Max lbft
Revo / 235-255 / 257-287
APR / 241 / 292
AMD / 257 / 285
Shark / 250 / 311
Bluefin / 238 / 247
Rtech / 245 / 280
P-Torque / 250 / 285

Overall, most are in the range of 240-250bhp and 280-285lbft - I'm a bit suspicious of the numbers much outside of this range!

The best piece of advice I got when I was tuning my own JDM type-R's and an Evo was rather than focus on peak numbers, try and focus on the amount of space u create on the graphs below your line compared to a stock graph.
The more space overall between the lines is giving you more gains overall and not just top end.
Useable gains in everyday driving.

Prob doesn't make as much sense written down as it does in my head tho.

This is totally right. Hence I referred to the shape of the dyno being more important. Peak bhp and torque are definitely not the be all and end all. It's about how much you get it at what rpm, and how smooth or peaky it is for your driving style.
