The Royal Purple must have been at least 90 weight for it to have sapped the other 60 HP that the Chipwerke makes😄
Of the 8 Audi A6's that you have tested with the 3.0, how many were Chipwerke or what kind were they?
Maybe when they said that their car was chipped they meant that the windshield was chipped?

Yes I own 3 speed shop locations in the state of RI. Yes I own a 4 wheel dyno and also a 2 wheel dyno that are calibrated every 6 months. Yes I bought my Audi at the dealership brand new with 12 miles on the ODO. So far we have had 8 Audi A6 3.0 that have been chipped, with the fluids changed to Royal Purple(oil, ATF, transfer case and diff) and put on a dyno before the change and then after and yes not one showed an increase of more than 10hp. The before and after is purely for the RP change and gain in hp. Now I don't know where these people bought their A6s as some were new and some used.
As for drugs....even if that was meant for the OP not all of them are bad as I am a drug dealer by profession.

I'm not going to put customers dyno charts on the web as it is bad business practice. I'll try to find the dyno charts for my own car and post. If I can't find them. I'll just do another dyno run and post.
For all you guys making fun of this info go ahead. At least I know that I'm not going to be fooled by them anymore. And yes the torque increases are much worse than the dyno numbers. Don't know off the top of my head.

Hey Guys... there is a "chipped" designation we are using but this can be anything. I'm sure there are bogus chip upgrades while there are other "chips" that really do a good job. In my personal opinion I think we're assuming the lesser effective "chips" are comparable to the chipwerke which seems to be a good product.
Even if any other mod was yielidng only 10HP increase, that could also be a result of another failing component such as bad IAT, failing MAF, etc. Could also be a bad batch of chips.
I'm as skeptical as the next guy, but I'm willing to give things a fair shake to prove me wrong. Doesn't mean it will change my preference just prove that some things work better than I thought. Eehh.
We've all just experienced things differently so we all have different truths. At end of the day I'll stand and defend family, friends and those ill-advantaged; BUT I'm not picking arguments over products getting other people rich. Having said that.. to each their own.

Sirius Radio
Hope I'm not hijacking this thread. When the op stated his surprise, well I somewhat know the feeling.
Here is an unrelated experience with my 2012 A6 Prestige lease return, that I bought 14 months ago.
The Sirius radio is still working. I'm guessing the previous lessee paid for a lifetime subscription. Time will tell.

No not engine related but yes same experience. It's like pulling out an old pair of jeans not worn for a while and finding an unexpected $100 dollar bill in the pocket. Congrats on your free treat engleg

Steve, I am wondering if part of the tune is a dyno as well. Maybe you could work with your tuner to get a before dyno pull. If it shows the expected ~70AWHP add from stock then maybe you could pay for dyno only and not need to spend the additional for a tune you don't need.
