no power and white smoke out the exhaust

[B5audiS4]

i have a 2001 audi s4. this morning i did a hard shift into second gear and now i have pretty much no power and i cant go over 2200 rpm. after that rpm if i get into the gas there is nothing but a whining sound that increases the for gas i give it but at the same time there is no acceleration. im also getting tons of white smoke coming from the exhaust. if anyone has any suggestions on what the problem may be please let me know. im relatively new to this vehicle and dont know much about them, but from what i do know all i can conclude is a blown turbo. Please help. thanks

uhhohhhh....sounds like it's time to go stage 3..

Have to agree. Turbo is right. Where is doylestown?

[B5audiS4]

i knew it. turbos i guess would make sense when its APR chipped and has 76000 miles. doylestown is about 40 minutes north of philadelphia and about 30 minutes away from AWE in willow grove.

I had the same symptoms when my turbos crapped out

[RedRocketS4]

yeah... happened to me last week... turbos go boooooooooooooooom

Well you are close to AWE so that's good, if your pockets are deep.

its not the turbo. its all the babies you killed with your turbo. now they're back to haunt you.

I had a customer do that.

Audi A6 2.7T, S-line, etc. Purchase price $7,750, mileage 98K.
Stock file, blown turbo (nut broke off compressor side, turbine and turbine shaft were in the Cat), I/C full of alum dust, ... at 103K, just 5K after purchasing.

$4880 + trans service, GIAC flash, and a couple little things later, your "cheap" A6 2.7T turned into a nightmare.

basically, you didnt buy the car from audi, but the salesman just used his VAG mind control, and butt raped, i mean initiated you, you do not pass go or collect 200 dollars, it is ok to shed a few tears at this point.....now that your done crying, put a smile on, cuz ur shits gonna be way faster!!

[Dr.Duct]

the title should be changed to....

No turbo, and green money out of the pocket
