This is another disaster story, but wanted to start a new thread since i am not sure if its the turbos!

I was driving on the highway and passed up several cars in third,bounced the rev limiter accidentally(missed gear), and bam all this white smoke is smoking out my exhaust! The smoke seemed like it was covering the whole highway. Of course I lost all boost but no dentist drill whine? Nothing, Nada, no check engine light either. I drove several blocks home with my frantic finance to my side.

So here i am with the s4 sitting at home not knowing if it was the turbos. I spoke to several people and most of the time when turbos blow you will hear a loud whine or some clicking noise. The motor sounds normal, but no boost whatsoever. no oil leaking, tbb seems fine from outside, no check engine light.
Car is giac x chipped with a jhm ss,thats all.

I have a vast mbc on its way since i did indeed want to blow these sucker turbos,but not this fast! I don't have a vagcom or anything really. I just had to vent with all you guys that experienced this already! What can i do to find out what happened?

Thanks

Pressure test? not hard to make a tester if i could do it...

Audi certified but I want to know for sure if its the turbos before I go up to the dealer. I plan to buy the ko4's if I find its the turbos, and see if they can replace them under warranty. I don't want to go back to k03's since my warranty is coming to an end soon.

Ill check the engine oil and see about a pressure test as well.

You going to pull the chip before taking it to the dealer to try to get warranty work?

spare ecu sitting in my trunk. I knew this was going to happen soon since my turbos were slightly whining for about a month now. the turbos had 45k miles on them too!

Should i tow my car to dealer, or can I drive it slowly there?

She doesn't always ring. Mine went like that. Don't drive it. You are dumping oil into the cats.
