Wastegate failure
I have read the postings on the site about the turbo problems and wastegate issues. I stopped by the dealer today and they said I need a new turbo... $2150.00.. My question is... since I cannot afford a new turbo right now, will I damage the car any driving it with a bad wastegate?

If you can beat me on the bidding....
there is one on Ebay! U can usually find them used for around $100 Dont even think about spending $2150 on a new one from the dealer. You could get a K04(step bigger) get more power and it would still cost less than what the dealer charges.

Re: may be wanting it...
I may be in contact with you guys early next week. I a waiting to see if Audi will help with the cost. Also, I sent an eMail to me previous mechanic in Texas (I recently moved to WI) and he suggested I check the oil line to turbo before doing anything.
So, I will keep you posted - I appreciate the offer, and will let you know either way...
Thanks
