Default HARTGE CHIP IN A4 3.0

I have been advised that a 'Hartge' chip will add 16-23kw and 30Nm if fitted in a A4 3.0 Quattro Manual (six speed). Unfortunately there are a very few A4 3.0's which have had chip upgrades in South Africa where I stay so I cannot confirm the above figures with someone locally. Does anyone know if these figures are realistic? What are the risks of fitting such a chip? Also what happens to the car's warranty (I have only done 6000km on the car and wouldn't like to lose the free maintenance plan which runs up until 120,000 km)? What would be an indicative cost in America (I have been quoted +- US $ 400 equivalent)?. Would an Audi dealer be able to detect that the chip has been tampered with? If anyone can answer these questions I would most appreciate your response as I am VERY KEEN to do this chip upgrade.

Default Hartge is a BMW tuning house.

I don't think they offer upgrades for Audi.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hartge.de/Uk/indexuk.html">Here is Hartge's website</a></li></ul>
