If you don't have any visual changes from OEM, I believe that Abt made a chip for the TT
earlier than some of the other vendors. IIRC, it is a little down on power from some of the others, and it is a chip upgrade, so if you were to want more power, you would need to do a chip upgrade. The flash upgrades from Revo, APR, etc would not be able to write over the Abt chip. That happened to someone at TT-East. They went to get Revo tuned, and it would not work. Ended up he had a chip and didn't know it (he was a second owner).
As Paul noted, I have posted instructions on a Foglight switch mode to enable them to come on with parking lights. Your switch IS working normally, though. I think the Parking+Fogs position works in some markets, not the US. That's why the switch goes there even though it doesn't do anything. Not sure how "in" to modding you want to get, though...

Abt is like OCT, they're tuned for torque more than peak hp.
I've got an OCT chip in my car and it pulls very strong but has a flat torque curve. I think the Abt chip is more conservative but again has stock-like power delivery, just more of it
