Actually the Silver A4 that Tapp is working on now and has a BT in is my old car.

Tapp is actually very afordable comparitively speaking. Aside from the labour rate being competitive, they are efficient with their time and in my experience (lots of hours of work done to 3 Audis and a Mazdaspeed Miata), they have never been surprises and have done work for less than expected on more than one occasion.

Is it just me or for the engine period you're suppose to drive the car pretty hard right? That's what I've been told, is that the regime you've been following?

Nah, it's not supposed to be driven hard. I've been taking it fairly easy, leaving the DSG in auto mode (shifts at about 2000 rpm). After 1000 kms the manual says you can then go to about 2/3 of redline, then after 1500 kms it's full out!

My manual is similar so when I took delivery of mine almost 2 weeks ago, I decided to take it easy for the first 1000 kms. That lasted almost 20 minutes
I always make sure the engine warms up and the turbo is allowed a few minutes of cool down before turning it off.
Cheers !
