Generally the newer the generation of fuel injection system, the more
precise the system can control the various engine operating parameters,
pushing the envelope of power/emissions/economy/driveability, etc.
That said, each Audi's fuel injection system is designed specifically
for that model's engine. Swapping to a different system will probably
hurt performance without changing many of the operating parameters and
programming to match. This is especially true with the later systems.
