Turbo on 99.5 1.8 is broken (chipped blade?). Audi will replace it under the 7 year warranty (in California) if the turbo failure either makes the CEL come on, or makes the car fail a smog check. Is there anyway I can make either of these happen? (I'm desperate)

 

hollow out the cat


run leaded gas

 

Yeah, but its gotta look like the broken trubo made it fail.

 

leaded gas is your best bet then. itll fail miserably

 

hollow cat and hopefully your air filter and oil is dirty

 

Will putting leaded gas in my car permentently ruin anything on the car (don't care if it ruins the turbo, but anything else)?

 

run the turbo with no oil, it will def throw a cel after the turbo get destroyed

 

Remove the clamp from the exhaust side so the return leaks.

Then put it back on after you get the CEL.

That's the only idea I have that might work.

 

Thats a really good idea, imola.

 

wont the CEL go away after u put the clamp back on
