You should be able to have them prove that the cause of the turbo failure was the exhaust fault

Default It would be pretty easy if you have a Milltek or Forge, since that's what Audi is selling as..

enhanced cat-back from what I understand.

Default That sucks, you wouldn't want to put K03's back on anyways =op

I've only been stage 3 for a couple hours and its grrrrrrrreat.....lol

When i owned a ford and the dealership tried to deny warranty coverage, i would just take the part off and go to another one. Is advantage an aftermarket warranty company?

Default Tell them you want them to prove the exhaust directly caused the failure

I believe this is required. If they can't prove that the exhaust directly caused the turbos to fail, then you should be able to get them to replace them, although you are going to have to fight hard.
