Hmmmm lets see...

AWV has less restrictive head and intake manifold, larger injectors, larger compressor wheel in the turbo (K03S vs K03) and VVT. The VVT does nothing for hp and is geared only to help with emissions. It does add a cool bit of alphabet soup though

Not to totally discredit the APH. It does have stronger internals, stiffer bottom end and coil packs that dont fry at they slightest touch.
