Default Got the Turbo Blues (it's dead at 21000 miles)

<br>Well, it's times like this that I'm glad I was so wishy-washy on chipping my 97 A4 1.8T. Several weeks ago the car simply became extremely sluggish. Passing required dropping down to 4th and 3rd gear and daily driving required runs to 5000+ rpms just to keep up. I figured I had the dreaded turbo linkage problem. Well, the car finally went to the dealer yesterday. They've told me the turbo is dead! I'm glad I didn't chip the car simply because I really don't need a warrenty battle right now. It's too bad I'm saving for a new house, otherwise I'd be going to a K04 and adding some real ooommmph to the little 1.8. <p>-RobC<br>97 A4 1.8TqMS (non-T for the time being)<br>
