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
