Eh...I'm not a big fan of running a whole lot more power through factory auto-boxes. Especially the ZF built HP19 and HP24. I'd probably have the transmission service done either before or shortly after. Takes 8 litres of Audi (Esso/Exxon) ATF, a filter/seal, and an oil pan gasket. Expect to spend around $15/litre on the fluid, $40-ish for the filter/seal, and I can't remember how much the pan gasket was. Labor will likely be several hours. It took me a LONG time to do because I ended up having to gravity feed the transmission fluid after my hand pump broke, which is less than ideal. This should be done on the ZF tiptronics every 2-4 years really (30-50k miles). Yes, it is expensive, but it can help prolong the life of your (rather expensive) automatic transmission.
