This engine is NOT NA, it is FI, with variable camshafts [double-VANOS] and variable valve opening [VALVETRONIC]. i think the lack of Performance Chips for this system are due to the complicated computer programming required in that the valves control cylinder filling and not the throttle plate, which is only used to provide vacuum on startup and when the "Limp Home" mode is activated. This also explains why some engines start a bit rough.
