I was under the impression that the 2.8 in the A6 delivered ~200hp, or is 
the 193hp a DIN value?

Anyway, I am looking for the soft code in order to try to increase the HP 
of my son's 2001.5 A4, 2.8, 5-speed from 190 to 200 (cheap Christmas 
present ;-).  Several people have indicated that it's just a matter of 
recoding the engine controller with the code of the A6 to increase the 
HP.  Unfortunately, he is located in Ottawa, so I would not be able to get 
the ECU number until after we get there on Dec. 19th.

I'm not sure what you mean by "find a chip that would work in your ECU". I 
understood that the process simply involved changing the ECU soft code, 
which I can do using my VAG-COM, not the chip itself.
