turbo problems

Crutcherk, I think that depends on whether you can get a better, more reliable verhicle for ~$5k. You just completed the most expensive maintenance item. If you are sure the tranny is good and the car is in otherwise excellent shape, I would fix it and continue driving it. Or you can part if out for maybe a couple thousand and then buy a used something else with it's own problems. As I said, I'd rather put $4-6k into my current car than buy a newer used Audi for 3-4x as much and inherit someone else's problems.

Yes it is a lot of money, but it was worth it the car is in great condition. Suspension is in great condition and tranny is good too. It was a freak indecent that the right turbo oil sized up. I have always done normal oil changes , but when one turbo goes its best to replace both of them. while I had the car in the shop to replace the oil lines and turbos I got some major maintenance out of the way. The timing belt and the aux water pump that just started to leak. I know my car will last all the way into the next 100,000 miles

Sorry to bring a topic from the dead, but here is a update one what happen.
Right side turbo was blown. ended up replacing both Turbos and oil lines plus while It was being worked on I got my T-Belt done also along with Aux water pump. The car is broken in and pulls hard now and is doing fine.
Problem of this whole thing was Right side Turbo oil line seized up
