Default Question about expiring warranty and turbos

In 5,000 miles my warranty expires. Turbos are making a faint dentist drill sound. Besides trying to blow them. What can I do, and have others done, as far as seeing or knowing if they are damaged in anyway. Will the dealer only replace them if they are blown? How should I approach my Audi dealer about my possible concern. Has anyone else had this senerio.

Default You can pull the downpipes off to inspect the turbine wheels and inspect for oil leaks. You could

also inspect the compressor wheels/check for leaks but it's rather difficult/impossible without tearing stuff apart.

Default I'll be in the same boat come June (I'll hit the date before the mileage) ... I'm going to try and..

blow those *****'s!

That'll be more fun ;-0

Of course the flip side is if they don't blow before the CPO warrantee runs out ;-(

All they'll say is that is "within the normal range."
