Default Interesting problem solved- in about 15 minutes--(more)

About one week ago, my A6 2.7t quit pulling at 3500 RPM's. Like it had hit the rev limiter. Then the next day, it wouldn't do the same and ran, seemingly, OK. Then today I decided something was wrong, the power wasn't quite there, so I took it to Darren McNeely at Boardwalk Audi I was in at 1:45, and out at 2:15 PM. Remember, they changed my turbos about a month ago. Guess what was wrong---------answer will be posted tomorrow-------winner gets a big cigar........ Whatcha think??????
