I just read the question how to find out when autogrow in tempdb happened. And again I want to push for the default trace. The simple answer is that you already have this information available, just go and get it! (Unless you explicitly disabled the default trace, of course…)
Adjust the file name for your most recent default trace file in below query:
SELECT te.name, t.DatabaseName, t.FileName, t.StartTime, t.ApplicatioNname
FROM fn_trace_gettable('C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\MSSQL\LOG\log_331.trc', NULL) AS t
INNER JOIN sys.trace_events AS te ON t.EventClass = te.trace_event_id
WHERE te.name LIKE '%Auto Grow'
ORDER BY StartTime ASC
