Default starting problem ..please help

Could someone give me any advice, my s2 only starts from cold if you put your foot down on the accelerator and turn the engine over for about 15 seconds. It starts better when warmed up but still think it could be better....any ideas would be appriciated

i unpluged it and it started first time but tickover was rough. I waited 4 hrs and tried it again unplugged and it started ok, then plugged it back in and then started it again and it started first time im confussed. the thing is, being in hull there isnt any one specialising in RS turbos to take it to. Ive only owned the car about 6 wks and hav'nt really drove it yet, could do to have it on a rolling road really.
