Unless the first run or runs were with no fans or some other change. How can removing a thin layer of filter bring an amazing 15 HP and completely removing the filter or putting on the gruppe M intake only yield the same results. Your first change (Plates) restricts the amount of flow to the filter and the second Removing the C filter helps flow more air.... How do they compound to make more power rather then cancel each other out?...
Sorry to be a skeptic but seems unusual to yield such large results on stock software and to gain TQ and HP both times from opposite changes, seems to good to be true.

I don't actually think you restrict air to the filter with the plates. If anything you are eliminating HOT air. You are in fact likely to be allowing the box to hold more pressure and thus assisting the turbos with sucking in air more rapidly. There is DEFINITELY noticeable performance difference when you remove those filters. It is not mind-blowing but certainly measurable. The car seems to loosen up a bit. Same was the case on the E60. It does make sense. They are definitely restricting flow. Has to be breathing much better.
