My injected, turbo charged engine is a doddle to start. Probably due to the onboard computer controlled engine management system. I just sit there, turn the key and hey presto it roars into life, whether hot or cold. I like to keep the revs down until the oil has warmed to prolong the life of the turbo charger, but other than that it pretty much takes care of itself. I can't over speed it, mixture is accurately metered, the turbo wastegate is under the control of the computers...amazing.

I suppose the difference is that it has Audi stamped on it and it is in my car
