Pick up a supply of ABA worm-drive clamps in assorted sizes

You'll want to use them in many places on the TT and any other VAG product. One-time only clamps are OK if you're assembling a vehicle, but for any car that needs maintenance they're a PITA.

Bahn Brenner has ABA clamps in assorted sizes. When I did my intake insulator and rebuilt the PCV system I used a bunch of ABA size 3 and 4 clamps on that plumbing nightmare.
