A lot of guys recommend doing the timing belt dampner too.
I did it when I did my timing belt service.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=2.7T&mod el=B5%20S4&submodel=&category=Engine">Scro ll down to OE Timing Belt Dampner</a></li></ul>

Woo, wait. ECS Ultimate setup came with the same gasket as factory on mine. Dealer gasket I bought
in addition was the metal type(which I actually prefer) but it screwed up the torque settings when I put it on and I ended up shearing a bolt and stretching 2 others trying to get a consistent 10nm across the bolts. Ended up having to use the paper one and it torqued right up. Only have 20-30mi on the car so far but no leaks anywhere. Guess time will tell... other gasket had ~53K on it and was dry all the way around.

Probably special one time use stretch bolts for the metal gasket, normal for the paper :P
Given how many countries the audi V6s have been used in, I'm sure there are many many offbrand "central euro autozone" water pump parts/styles floating around

All I know is I almost pooped when I broke one of the stock bolts trying to get 10nm on a
metal gasket. Stretched a few others too. Sat there pondering the situation for a few minutes afterward as well lol. Luckily the broken part screwed right out with the fingers(after removing the wpump). 9 new bolts from Fastenal an hour later and I was back in my s-l-o-w build process =-)
Hope you guys are well up there...
