O.K. taking money on what"s wrong with my stage 2+

So bad 3 days so far, day one screw in side of tire, above tread wall= tire fucked. second racing losers like I always do and all of a sudden the car is like running on 3 cylinders, not fun. took it to my friends shop and he tells me its misfiring on most if not all all of the cylinders , o.k. to much for him to handle so I take the car the open wheel audi in Vancouver and they were very nice and payed for my ride home about $30 I mean the car is 7 years old no warenty and they help me out like that.

When this started I was getting a siren noise or loud whistling noise under hard acceleration? Hum... At fist I was thinking coil pacs , but then the siren noise reminds me of turbo melt down , lastly I was thinking sort of hose lose witch would explain whistling and miss-fire? I hope this is making some sense, considering I had three pints, and just popped a sleeping pill to knock myself out so I can function tomorrow, Thanks guys. you guys rock!

Probably a popped off intercooler hose. Visual inspection should be able to locate it. If not, do a pressure test. Check the electrical connections on top of the airbox too. I had one come loose once and the car ran like you're describing.

Ya I had a hose pop off when I was in Bremington and the car stopped running completely., I had to unplug the MAFS, and limp mode the car back to Canada, What's weird is that the check engine light was flashing for a minute, then stayed lit up, also the fact that it would seem to run fine for a while and then act up a bit. But I do agree with you that it could be posable that a hose could be "partially" off and that would be A best case scenario. Thanks for giving me hope that it won't be too bad.

The lose of power definitely sounds like a boost leak of sort. Maybe tbb. Either way you should pressure test. The sirens sounds may mean the turbo fairy is coming to make a visit. Stage 3 here you come.

UP DATE! the turbo fairy did pay a visit. I am going to get a 2nd opinion, but what the dealer is telling me, is that the passenger side turbo has a waste gate problem ie. gone. They cleared the codes and it runs fine, but I'm still getting the siren noises. I will be moving on this fast as summer is hear..... I was really waiting to up grade my turbos to RS6s, but I don't think I can comfortably do that since they are relatively new to the seen, and I want to be sure the car will be reliable. Any one with with opinions are welcome to give me advice, as of now I'm going with AWE full kit from Matrix. Will keep you guys updated.
