Don't
As one of the SuperBlue veterans (have the clutch master/slave cylinder replacement bills to prove it), I wouldn't put either their blue or gold versions of brake fluid in my Audi.
Yeah, it's got decent stats and is cheaper than Motul, but I'd rather put in the better fluid and not worry about replacing hardware. You may be doubling the cost of the brake fluid, but you're not going through it as quickly as, say, engine oil. So, cough up for 2 bottles of Motul; it'll only be about $22.

I'd say maybe not for a new Audi..
though my 1996 has had no problems with either. And my '83 UrQ is fine, as are both my dad's Vettes (all with Blue).
But I know people have had trouble with the Blue. Never heard any problems with Gold 200.

Don't forget the ABS pump!
Both PeteH and I put in SuperBlue the same day at the track last year. A couple of months ago, we both lost our ABS pumps. Neither of us still had SuperBlue IIRC.

Got Type 200 and Super Blue in the entire race fleet...
Never had any problems with Type 200 (aka 'gold' ?) and Super Blue, but never put in in my Audi. Might be something in the rubber compound that Audi's suppliers use - ?...
Been using the Ate Type 200 and SB for 10+ years...it's in (..ahem..ok, I've got problems)
5 race cars in the fleet right now, and have never had seal problems or squeaky stuff.
