How does that affect the CPUs that are chipped? will there be a program for the new 180hp to go to 215?

Default They will chip to the same hp as other VCT engines.

In case you didn't know, the newer engines have a larger more effecient compressor wheel, VCT and a lower compression ratio(9.3:1 vs 9.5:1). Mechanically the late 2001 engines are the same, for 2002 they change the software to bring the engine to 180hp. Whether you have an AWW 2001 or a new 2002 the engine will chip to 210hp.

note: when I say AWW I am refering to the VCT engine, the transverse and longitudinal engines have different codes- the AWW is not found on the A4
