Default *****A few problems******

2001 S4 w/99,000miles

I'm getting some hard starts when I start it cold, I'll turn the key and it will turn over but not start, turn the key off then try it again and it starts right up. Spark plugs are new. What could this be?
Second problem is I replaced the tbb and noticed that there was a little oil in the bi-pipes, I have no idea if thats normal. I'm guessing not, cause that would mean that oil is traveling through my intercoolers from the turbos and into the bi-pipes, in that case wouldn't I run hot because of the oil going through the intercoolers, but I'm not running hot. I dont know, what do you guys think I should do? There was no oil in the tb just the bi-pipe.

Make sure your vehicle is maintaining fuel pressure. If its not holding fuel pressure after you shut the vehilcle of it can lead to hard starts. Small amounts of oil in the intake tract is normal.
