Default Pull the bottom hose off the N75 that is the charge pressure

control line .. however it might throttle cut since it will be running full boost =\

Default from what I learned this morning:

cut your TBB and drive it like you stole it.

Default pop off your bpvs and do a few hard runs

or you could port and polish with some nice sand.

Default Hmm what causes turbo instaplode? ... search reveals if pre-IC hose, or *any* hose post-IC to TB

was loose and since the (design flaw) B5 doesn't monitor pressure leaks that is known to cause overspin -> turbo death within a month.

But of course only a screw-type clamp, and not the factory (one-time crimping) clamps could come loose. Since the latter are impossible to come off without replacement, and leave marks.

This would make a killer recipe for "Roue a'la Flamb":
- Find a convenient & hot day, for a 50 mile drive
- Beat until thoroughly mixed
- Cook in boiling oil to 250F
- Remove without cooling down
- Repeat


Of course warranty work would be on the assumption you had no engine mod's (RIGHT !?!) *before* doing anything crazy.

Make sure the dealer knows how to prime the turbo with oil *before they* test drive, and before you drive away with new turbo's. Break in carefully for first couple hundred mi !

Default Must have been years ago or very special dealer - AoA policy is not to replace Turbos just on noise

If it's clearly a bad set of Turbo's that they just put in ... (experience)
