RS4 that makes 420hp? I have asked this before but what kind of magic mojo do they do to make all this power with less parts?

the death threats have slowed down some so I thought I would ask again.
I would think that someone can give a good explanation that would make sense, so I can stop wondering and just accept that some tuners are just god.

Good question
Do we know if MTM HP is fywheel dynoed or calulated from rear wheel HP? Is the drivetrain loss used by most tuners a fudge factor or realistic (or even the same for all tuners). Also to be considered is that European MTM tuned RS4s are running 98 octane and the quoted HP for the American tuners claiming the figures you quote (512-418)are using 93 octane. Lots of questions.
