2016 S6 4.0T Turbo Failure...

[Clipse3GT]

Looks like I am a victim of Audi's piss poor German engineering. 48k miles 0w-40 M1 oil only used every 7500 miles. APR Stage 2, SRM intakes, APR downpipes catted. No one is safe from these turbo failures. Honestly this has to become a recall on a global level. Of course Audi would prefer that would not occur.

Ordered a new set of RS7 turbos and TSB from SRM. However, it looks like my hotside / exhaust manifolds got pretty mangled. Do people reuse them in this condition or run a bore hone through them to smooth them out. It looks like the drive side one is far worse than the passenger side. What are my options to replace them or repair them?

I am wondering what people are doing in this situation. What are the options. Beside going to the dealer to take a broom stick up the .....

The screen is completely clogged. No barely any light even passes thru it. Its packed with a bunch of fine particles or fibers.

Here is pictures of the carnage...




















Here is a similar issue that was known since 2009 in the DSM crowd. Running a too fine of a pre filter to a journal bearing turbo will kill them eventually due to oil starvation.

Update:

Here is a picture of the turbocharger failure on journal bearing shaft. I took the turbos apart. Also note the gold/copper dust on the end of the threaded shaft as well as the thrust plate. The screen slowly degrades oil flow. Once its starts to go the filter screen gets completely occluded which ends in failure.
