Default I saw the same thing happen on an S4..

It was his turbos.. When the turbo goes, many have reported some white smoke (oil getting burned off in the exhaust system)..

Default Do a compression test to make sure it's not the rings...

but more than likely the turbo is toast.

Default Actually, there's been a few isolated incidences where the 225TT engines......

Blew. I've only seen one turbo go bad on any TT, but I've seen 5-6 engines. Sorry if that's the case...

Default Yep.. Isolated incidences where people kept things very very quiet.. : /

A few turbos have gone on the board (publicly known).. KD has some kind of custom chip, Im interested in how much boost he is running..
