The intake path is negated in some conversions (like mine)
and the coil-pack ignigition is nice, but the biggest difference
IMO is "overboost mode" which allows 2.15 bar max boost for
15 seconds.  According to Audi, 280 lb-ft of torque is available
from 2100-4000 rpm in a stock AAN, rather than than the 
usually quoted 258 lb-ft.  That mode is simply unavailable on
a 3B.
Still, a chipped 3B should outrun a stock AAN, even if the AAN
has an intake and exhaust, IMO.
