Cleaning the engine.
Just remove 1 item at a time if you're worried. You can also takes pictures before you start so you have a reference for when you get to put it so you'll know excatly what went where. Once you have taken off a couple of bits and cleaned and polished them you will soon have the bug :laugh:

Lost Locking Wheel Nut.
Had this problem a while ago on my sons car. I got a length of steel pipe slightly larger dia. than the locking wheel nut. Then welded the pipe (from hte inside to the nut, I had already drilled a large hole in the other end of the pipe and put a breaker in the hole then just undo using breaker bar simples! Repeat and continue on all the remaining nuts, just cutting off the old fecked wheel nut welded to the bar. hth

how do I make my turbos give me more power????
Yep defo not as fast as the V8 RS's, althought you could spend a few ££££'s and easliy get to 500bhp and still be quids in on the price of the Audi's, plus you won't have the dodgey hydraulic suspension system on the RS4/6's. Miss my RS6 Plus but don't miss the regular visits to the dealer!
