I had the same problem with my '94 A4. I just kept my hand on the throttle to keep it minimally running as I dumped it in.

In the future, try squeezing the booster line until it is almost completely closed. I used a pair of vise grips with something to pad the jaws to protect the hose. Worked perfect.
