Got my Diablosport I picked up my Diablosport yesterday and the local performance shop helped me put a decent tune on my stock '04 A4.
Here's what they did:
All WOT Shift Pressure:
Changed to 15.0 %
Part Throttle Shift:
Changed to 15.0%
Shift Time:
1st, 2nd, and 3rd were all changed to -25.0%
All Torque Management modes were already turned off from the basic tune.
The people at the performance shop said this shouldn't hurt the car but I'm not so sure.
She definitely feels stronger and quicker but I wonder if these settings are okay for everyday driving. Anybody else leave their tune on at all times except for the occasional trip to the dealer??

Wow those look kind of high to me. I believe they maxed out the shift times. Based on a thread over at LS1GTO.com an ex NASCAR guy worked up the following that I have been using until I upgraded to my '06:
WOT Shift Pressure
1-2 +4% Firm
2-3 +6% Firm
3-4 +8% Firm
PART Throttle Shift Pressure
1-2 +6% Firm
2-3 +8% Firm
3-4 +10% Firm
Shift Time
1-2 -6% quicker
2-3 -8% quicker
3-4 -10%quicker

Guys, every car will respond differently to these changes, so some experimentation is in order.
Shift firmness is up to the end user, and even at the max of +25%, you will not hurt anything.
Shift time is already set to the fastest setting in the tunes, so setting them to -25% is not really doing anything.
TM is reduced in the A4 tunes, but not completely eliminated.
I doubt it will ever get in the way now, but you can choose to disable all TM in the tool if you desire.
Good luck.

All Torque Management modes were already turned off from the basic tune.
