Anton,
Turbo timers are available for many turbo cars and cost around a 
couple of hundred bucks,  I am not sure if they have them available for 
Audi products.  but I have a Supra Turbo with over 300hp (and I use 
it!!) and all I do is wait for a couple of minutes at idle after a blast. I 
haven't bothered to buy one and am quite happy to let the car idle 
and, if I have nothing handy to read, I get my shop manual out of the 
glovebox and read it while I wait :-)
I also have used Mobil1 ONLY since 1000mile break in and most of my 
Turbocharged friends also use purely synthetic in their turbos.
If you have a garage, one way to make your rubber and plastic last 
longer is, after idling the car, raise the hood before you put the Iron 
Mistress to bed for the night. You will be amazed how quickly the heat 
dissipates when you do this. Just replaced my water and power steering 
hoses after 9 years and, amazingly, they were in excellent condition, 
even the turbo water coolers hoses VERY VERY adjacent to the manifold 
and turbocharger!
