Hmm, did I miss anything but were you not getting CEL lights?
I got CEL lights and odd performance - turned out to be the actuators seizing up or something with the screws in them getting stuck... don't remember exactly.
I never drove the car hard at all since the CEL light came on, got it into the dealer right away. They re-lubed the turbos and the car has been fine ever since.

I have noticed that at idle my tach needle bounces up and down like a millimeter or two? Does that sound normal. It's minimal but could that mean I have a rough idle or engine issues?

I asked the dealer about that. The tech said it was variances in the digital signal and that it wasn't representative of RPM fluctuations. I had my 40K service done and it was still doing it so I don't think it's an issue.

Thank you! so 40k on your turbo? Nice to hear people use their cars more then 5k lol. Have you encountered any issues with your car over the years? Are you stock? If so when did you do a plug change? I have 21k miles now and plan on putting a ton more on.
