[Kirby Smith]

Things to consider: Is your bypass valve functional or leaking? Are you
using too heavy of an oil?  Mobil 1 15W-50 vs 10W-40 makes a difference,
even in warm weather, I perceive.  Don't try to operate the engine in
lug mode, i.e., full throttle under 2500 rpm.  There is only so much an
Audi DOHC system can compensate for.  Is your wastegate frequency valve
in need of replacement?
