Superchips - off topic
I recently bought an Audi A6 Avant 2.5TDi Quattro (180BHP). Superchips do a chip which claims +20BHP and torque +20%.
1) Are these claims realistic?
2) Is there a reason not to do this ie can it damage engine etc?
Thanks in advance!

Er, I think this is the Porsche forum 
What the hell would we know about Audi diesels!!
OK, I'll get my hat......
Seriously, though, if its a turbo diesel, I expect that some of the gains cna be made by upping boost etc etc. Th e993 turbo boys get some silly numbers with chip re-programming.

Anything that involves a Turbo can be chipped for reasonable gains. 20% sound about right - thats 36hp - I don't know about torque though.
