Hopefully they will think your turbos are bad and swap them too.

Default well, how did the dealer determine that it was instrument cluster?....

are you still under warranty? If under warranty, then I'd say take some Motrin for the headache, eventually they'll get it right. If out of warranty, you really should not have to pay for them to start tossing in new parts hoping to fix something.

Have you tried using VAG-COM to communicate with the ABS controller and to try to pull codes?
