btw, regarding the windshield fluid... it's a reference to the warning in my dash. You see the orange animation that looks like a sprinkler? That just means the car's low on wiper fluid.
I knew that... funny thing is I never saw the warning light in the video. lol I was so focused on listening to the turbos screech that I totally blocked out the wiper fluid light.

Now that's some funny ****... lol

Its very crucial on a turbocharged car to pay attention to oil level. If the turbos get starved of oil it will substantially shorten their life.

The turbo on my A4 eventually seized up completely because of a clogged oil feed line. Previous owner must not have changed the oil regularly and the line got sludged up and eventually blocked off all or most of the oil feed line.
