You can just put it in first and go to town. Or you can use the second gear start feature. That's what I do, heats the tires quicker and makes it easier to control the burnout. If you don't have an aftermarket trans cooler you might just want to stick with doing your burnouts in 1st gear.

If you leave it in D or OD, it will shift through the gear at the rpm based off of the TPS %. If you want to control the rpms and upshift to higher gears, start off with 1st, then go to 2nd, and so on (if needed). I used to just hold the brakes in D and play with the throttle to reach a certain rpm, but it would shift into 3rd.

Get the tire spinning in 1st and then quickly shift to 2nd and finish it out. Don't do burnouts in "d" because there is less line pressure to the tranny that way and can burn up the clutches. You should always manually shift the car while racing too for the same reason.

Avoid shifting gears during the burnout. 1st gear at 5000 rpm will easily heat slicks; just takes 3 seconds longer than using 2nd gear (98 - 99 do not have 2nd gear start)
Unless your shift points are messed up, you can not outshift the A4 on WOT upshifts by doing it manually. Enough people have tried and the conclusion is always the same. They run a couple hundreths slower or, at best, even. If your shift points are not optimal; fix them. There are a number of tuning software options that deal with them and allow you to control a bunch more things that make owning the software a great mod for the A4.
