I am going to be swapping Throttle Bodies in a while and I know the Vag is required for the DBW cars, but I am not sure for the non-DBW cars. Will the key in the ignition, driver side door and hood open work, or will I need to do a Vag TBA? TIA!

I've been having an issue lately with my front rotors warping and I believe it's directly due to over-torqueing the front wheel lugs. First off, I'm running a set of Audi A6 2.7T wheels (the ones with 5 fat spokes). Recently, I torqued all wheels to 75 ft-lbs and noticed a severe vibration...
