Isn't there a 7 year/70,000 mile factory warranty on the turbos? I thought I had read that somewhere...

ok, about tie rod.....Jack up the car and check the rubber on both tie rods and try to shake the wheel, you 'll be able to see if the wheel sits tight or not.
turbos....sounds like it really went out on you... i only hope that its not the engine itself only turbo, how is the idling? even when turbo is broken the car should idle ok....what else....try to get as many opinions localy as you can.This is a very low miles car.....stock Audi turbos goes more than 100xxx miles 100%....yours was probably changed before.... i have 2.7t 6speed manual, with 89xxx miles, everything stock , went to audi dealer, they said turbos are stock no record on replacement...if you have Tip your turbos should be better then manual car, something was done to your car before, driving without oil/coolant, etc.

Big Tone,
If you are able to ask them to do the job by providing the turbos yourself we will sell you the K04 upgrades at cost. It should still be cheaper than what the dealer wants for the stock turbos. On the stock turbos we only have the right side in stock so can't help you there.

when they will change your turbo's ask them that you want to keep the old parts, this way you will be able to see what really happened, and if its not hard , please post some pictures. Good luck.
