Default Service update on car,(more) good news

Got the car back tonight as they promised.
Things I wanted done:
Put in parts for sunroof
change oil
Check Radio levels- change
Rear speakers sound weaker than fronts
Aux fan siren
Just told them of fuel gauge reading all over the
place.
Computer display goes blank sometimes
Possible vacuum leak- i was thinking hose.

Things they fixed:
Sunroof fixed
oil changed
Ordered a new radio
Rear speakers meet specs
Aux fan siren is gone. Removed rubber from
radiator fan, new coolant fan control relay.
Installed new instrument cluster
Modified air intake air hose-TBB?? part is
078-133-356-T. TBB looks new.
Installed new fuel sending unit
Rotated the tires

Loaner for 2 days was a Chevy Lumina brand new, I took back with a couple gallons short, service person said no problem.
This was an enjoyable service visit took 2 days but that was not a problem. They did alot in those two days. This service visit ranks high on the customer satisfaction scale. Also, when i was using the Tip the car just leaped from 2nd to 3rd, lots of power. I wonder how long I went with a Cracked hose? Power is much greater now.
I had them install the K&N filter that I had yanked out after my try at installing it. They even placed the 'Do not remove K&N sticker'on the snorkel intake so it doesn't get thrown away!! Sorry to type a short novel, but feel good about this service visit.

Default Yes! which dealer and more?

How many miles and months. Any comments by dealer re; the springs. Did the TBB improve the throttle response, or is this just a ECU/Tip chip issue. Thanks!

Default Commonwealth Audi did the work. It was a good experience.

They commented on the ride height and the wheels. They said 'that looks nice'. They had no heartburn that it was setup with the Audi Springs. Boy the TBB sure did improve the response, before it was kinda flat around 3000 RPM , know it jumps ahead and pulls strong. Maybe someone with tech knowledge can elaborate how the torn TBB affects the power of the engine.
7500 miles ~5 months.
