D/C calibration and a biturbo comment?

Hi A (-class) fellows!

Checked today my drive computer and speedo at an official
checkpoint. Found (avg) 5% too big value at speedo and I guess
it`s what manufacturer plans. Under my "Hippo" (= 91cq) I have 
stock size 15" 205/60 asymmetric Continental Premiums.

But, what is funny, the drive computer showed values which were
5% under the real! ( just before measuring point I reseted avg-speed 
and kept speed constant ) So it shows lower mpg than it really is.

Question is: Possibilities to calibrate it. When I opened the dashboard
because of lacking oil press warning ( long and funny story -and the
dealer lost that fight :^ ) saw nothing for it?

For You 2.7 biturbo owners!

Today I had my first possibility to drive a one. And I`m glad for You :) and
sad for me :(

I met a guy I was dirt bike racing with times ago ( my hobby still ). There was
his brand new A Allroad biturbo in the restaurant parking area,  I parked my 
cq beside it and saw the guy so we started talking about gi..  uh Audis and 
after a while he offered me to have a test drive...

Liked the car, just ok, (auto was nicer than +-shifter) not like my old Blazer. 
But the engine was a dream,  like an angel pushing me ahead...

The last ones weren`t originally my words, but turbine or plane experts know 
what I did mean:)

My first +200hp car was a `65 Cuda -273 commando ( `80 ) and last was 
Saabs` T 16 ( `99 ), but never felt that kind of smoothness with real power.
Now I can imagine what You guys mean with feeling of S4 !

It`ll take me some 5...100  yrs before I can afford S4, but someday...And glad
that all governments like ours don`t equal a car owning a crime. (taxes here)

My best
