How much air should go into a 235/40/18 tire on 2001 A4? 35psi or 38psi? What you do guys have?

Other way around. Lower pressure = softer sidewall, and more grip...
higher pressure = stiffer sidewall and less grip, therefore if your rears are higher, you essentially stiffen up the rear.
The tire pressure actually contributes to the overall spring rate of the chassis, it effects the handling more than most people realize.

I wouldn't do that
Tires heat up and pressure increases when driven. You certainly don't want to be running around at the max pressure rating for your tires. That being siad, 44 seems low, 51 does seem a more reasonable max and corresponds to what I've seen. What tires are they?
