Hi, I just purchased the car mentioned above and I was just wondering whether I need to idle the engine for about 30 seconds after driving the car in order to cool down the turbo. Thanks.

Heat is the enemy of all turbos. If you have been horsing the engine then it is a good idea. Under normal driving conditions the turbo is continuously cooled by your coolant system. Older turbos were not liquid cooled and so they cracked from heat more quickly.
Enjoy your new car.

This is a turbo charged car, it's set up for a turbo. Even if you did get a new K03 system, you're going to limit yourself to the exact same ceiling that you have with your CURRENT K03 system. That's like saying if I give a guy a 5 dollar bill am I going to get 6 dollar bills back? Think about it for just a sec. If you want to get more power from your audi then go with a bigger turbo...I know it sounds crazy to put a bigger turbo on a turbo charged engine instead of a supercharger but hey that's how the cookie crumbles.

you shouldn't have to. The computer in the car will moniter it and do what it needs to do to keep it functioning properly.

Not really, take it easy on the last mile or so. It will be fine.

its always a good idea to, but unless youve been racing it, you dont really have any reason to. it doesnt get hot enough.
