need advice on "what i think are blown turbos"
Ok my s4 was stolen and i just got it back 1 week and a half ago. It was stolen for 3 days for what seems like a joy/abuse ride. Today as im driving i hear a screach then i check my boost gage and i realize im not making any. S o now i checked all the hoses and nothing seems wrong. But my turbos are still spooling but they sound weird. What can i do? I believe the insurance compant still havs to pay for this right? Any advice would be great.

I'd take it in immediately and have the dealership diagnose it as blow turbos
have the ins cut you a joint check with the dealer and stick on some RS4 turbos. Chances are they won't warranty it, so you'll need some the ins. comp. money. It would be great if the worked up a quote for you to give to them and then they warrantied them. Wooo Hooo party time.

Correct, the car was obviously abused and such abuse can lead to turbo failure. Over revving, oh
what about if they went from 3rd at 90 to 2nd for kicks. AHHHh. Valve train and such. I'd have it down to the dealer ASAP so the insurance company can't say that you broke it
