Default loss of boost

Ok I was driving going about 15mph when I all of the sudden lost boost and I quickly pulled off the road. My check engine light was on
and I could tell that my exhaust sounded funny. At first I assumed My turbo went out but my turbo only has about 15,000 or so miles on it and it is a sealed bearing turbo wich from what I'm told last longer and have less problems. let me add that I am a beginer at Audis and this is my first It was the MB QUART DEMO CAR and everything was upgraded and I can't see any hoses that came loose or are broken So I need some help please HELP I just put the car in the paper for sale and the next day I loose boost I only have 39,980 miles on it
The car is a 2003 1.8t quattro thanks for any help. that will save me money lol....
