Pay to play? So AOA using defective KKK turbos, is our fault somehow?
There are plenty of stock cars with bad turbo's. My allroad at 16K for one and interesting enough my allroad and S4 went thru the same surgeries a week apart and after the same surgery both cars had complaining passenger turbos. Poor QA on KKK part yes, poor lubrication design on audi's part, yes, cover my *** attitude by AOA absolutely, we have your money so f$ck you attitude by dealers and AOA, absolutely!!
Many lesser and better brands have stepped up and made things right, AOA hid..

Thanks, always wondered about aoa or dealerships doing that...
Im not too concerned though because 1) i think the turbos were heading south when i first got the car as was the BPV/BPVs. and i have reason to believe the car was chipped prior to me owning it. so that might help my case if i get DENIED

As long as you appear stock for the related repair and the dealer can't find any...
signs of abuse you should be fine. I was Stage 2 when my turbos blew at 42k miles and I returned everything to stock form (except suspension...so this meant removing cat-back exhaust and ECU). Dealer replaced no probs.
