It happened shortly after I dropped her at 5k, while dragging an '84 Mustang Lx. I lost by a car length.
The TT has lost a substantial amount of boost and that coke bottle howl is progressing. I fear the infamous diverter valve syndrome has plagued my vehicle and I'm pissed because I hear Audi isn't solving the problem w/ installing specific k04 valves. I have heard good reports w/ regards to the bailey valves but I shouldn't have to pay any $ amount extra to Audi as I feel i have given enough $ already as I am also insured for service 6 years !!!! This is absurd..
And, my MTM will be delivered shortly. These cars made for aggressive sports driving or what?!! ...

Many will disagree with this, but you'll note those that do probably have performed a variety of mods to make the car more sport-oriented.
I find that I'm vastly happier with my TTQ 180 when I view it as a luxury car, with a light performance expectation. My car is considerably stronger/more consistent since it got a new d/v (factory replacement), but hardly in a position to compete with sporty cars half its price in any arena other than handling.
That said, you're car is certainly under the weather. An 84 Mustang Lx? Eiiiiwwwww! Drive your dealer nuts until they do something about it!
