Re: turbo and tuning for 2007 a4 3.2
They would, but they may not be the best for your application: suspension components tend to be tuned to the weight of the car; with the heavier 4.2, you may have more damping than necessary up front (assuming the shocks are tuned thus for high spring rates up front), which promotes understeer. If you're looking into Bilsteins, you'd be better off just getting the A4 ones.

Info on Bilstein shocks? They're quality shocks, but last I checked (when I was upgrading my suspension) they're not adjustable, whereas the Konis I've got are (for rebound, but they have to be removed from the vehicle for adjustments). If I was to do it over again though I would probably go with the Bilstein PSS9 coilover, where damping can be adjusted while installed on the vehicle, and quite inexpensive for what it is.

Hey, I was searching the other day for an air intake and found one that i believe is made in germany. Its for my 3.2 a4. Does anybody know who this might be or know of a company who makes one. I forgot to bookmark it.

Some has reported that the PSS9 could be on the stiff side, so just make sure you do take that into consideration. Another thing to consider: while the damping is adjustable externally, the range of adjustment is not very large (unlike the ultra high-end STaSIS Motorsport).
German intake... It's not MTM, is it?

By all means, and please do post tons of pictures as things progress! Keep in mind though: the 3.2 has the same lineage as the 2.8. While I don't know about the 3.2, I can tell you that the 3.0, 2.8 and 2.7T are essentially the same block, with different bore/stroke. If the 3.2 is a continuation of this, it cannot be too strong a block, since there is already talk of the 3.0 block being weaker than the 2.8 which is a bit weaker than the 2.7. Also, isn't your 3.2 an FSI engine? If so, you'll need to look hard into your injector options: there just aren't so many choices out there for these high-tech injectors, at least that's the impression I've got.
