10 trouble codes! Yikes!

10 trouble codes! Yikes!
New to the forums. Hoping to gleen from the vast knowledge of fellow Audi afficienados! New to turbos & euros. Anyway, cel comes on, borrow a reader from my local auto parts & here's what I got:
P1473
P0445
P0037
P0418
P0412
P1289
P0136
P0102
P0031
P0135
I got a brief summary of some of the trouble codes. I know the ones with
P1xxx are a manufacture's code. Others include mass airflow sensor, & both O2 sensors. I also noticed the turbo not kicking in & it doesn't sound as if it's spooling up. I'm wondering if my turbo died & is causing a chain reaction of problems. The trouble codes are mainly air related. Any help is already appreciated & if it is the turbo, what's a good upgrade? Can't spend a lot, but fast is always good!

Clear all the codes and see which one's come back after a week or so of driving. Some may be old and already fixed. These turbo's are small and are mainly for efficiency in stock form. Depending on what year you have, you are only working with 150-170hp stock in a heavy car. Afer you see what if any fault codes return and diagnose/fix, consider chipping your car if you're looking for a "cheap" 50 horse power and lots more torque.

Haven't been on in a while. I said I'd let everyone know what I found out. Ended up being a ground fault - short circuit. Wiring harness had come loose & rubbed a hole thru the loom & insulation & was grounding a wire. Got it fixed for $80 & runs like a champ again! It was in limp mode & no codes since. Thanks for all the advice.
