So I was driving last night then all of the sudden I lost lots of power and heard something that sounded like it was dragging on the ground. So this morning I go to check out my car and I notice that the turbo doesnt seem to be spooling till about 3500rpm and from 2000 to 3500 rpm it makes a strange noise like metal scrapping against metal. Also after about 4500 rpm I have no power again. Whats wrong?

 

I can only speculat but that sounds pretty bad. I think your turbo ate itself, or something else.

 

I dont know what kind of a situation you are in for money, but if you can afford it (after making sure the turbo is the problem) just go ahead and treat yourself to a atp or apr turbo kit...or even a k04 would be nice.

 

Yeah I was thinking about that. To find out what the problem is where would you suggest i take the car? An audi dealership or just any good mechanic? PS I have no warrenty left.
