I usually put my foot on the accelerator pedal about half way when starting cold after the glow plug light goes out. My car will die if I don't. I'll drive with one foot on the accelerator pedal and one foot on the brake until I feel it is warmed up enough. I don't have the patience to wait how ever long it takes to warm up before driving. I wish it had a throttle cable like the non turbos. I've thought about adjusting the idle to run better cold but then it would probably idle too high when warm. And this is with all new glow plugs.
