When you take the fog lights + plastic around it the intake temperature drops down 10-15 degrees Celsius.

I came to this after analysis of VAG-COM and the intake temperatures together with engine ignition <beep>. The ECU is not moving back the ignition that much now. The tests where conducted in several runs 0-200km/h or 60-160km/h.

the air that gets to the cylinders has certain temperature, the lower the temperature the better engine runs giving more power

the air on standard RS6 + chip is 40 up to 65 degrees Celsius

so taking out the fog lights + the plastic lest more air to the intercoolers thus cooling them down more

Take a look at Sportec RS600 car and the parts that come with Sportec Intercoolers

The easiest thing is to test that with VAG-COM and wath the intake temps.
