but wouldnt 230 hp be to the crank? do you have quattro? if you factor in drivetrain loss youd probably be seeing a lot less..

Wow, 15hp from the intake lol. Yeah, i did the s4 vented wheel wells i gained about 9hp, sarcasm. Id love to see a dyno chart from carbino. You maybe would see 1-3HP if that, intakes on our A4's are pretty much pointless. Thats why i have one, I just like the sound. Actually there has been a loss in hp from the evo intake, but the dyno and the conditions it was set in were sketchy, so i dont know how much i could believe it. Id do exhaust, that will be your next biggest gain in hp in your list. Plus its kinda like preparing for the upgraded yurbo you want.

170+chip gives you 205hp on 91 octane (214hp w/ 93 octane (APR Stage1+)). However this is assuming you have aftermarket enlarged injectors.
Otherwise you are at 196hp and 200hp respectively [B6] or 200hp and 206 hp [B5].

Intake on average gives 5 hp gain.

New diverter valve does nothing to add to hp - it simply is not broken and allows you to operate at 100% boost efficiency.

FMIC is not a waste of money on a chipped car. It prevents heatsoak and will allow you to maintain your boost levels when driving spriritedly. How often have you run the car hard, then come to a stoplight and then crawl off the line because heatsoak floods the turbo. And a minivan full of kids beats you to the next light. [8D]

However - there are better mods to do initially than an FMIC.
