turbo lifetime?



I'm well on my way to getting a A4q 1.8t, and I'm curious about
the engine. Is this a new engine for Audi/VW? What can I expect
in terms of extra long-term maintenance due to the turbo??

I seem to recall that Audi has a fairly long service interval (is
it every 7500 miles?)--does that hold true for the turbo as well?

What about waarmup and cooldown time? Does the engine have an
electric oil pump that runs after shutdown to keep cool oil
flowing to the bearings, or do you have to idle for a bit?

-Thanks
