Check the coil packs. If any of them are non-genuine Audi. replace them. If they are VAG(Audi) packs, check the date. Replace any that are not 2008 and later. Check spark plugs as well. NGK BKR6E or 7E gapped to .028 as stated.

Plug in a VAGcom and check your codes too.

If the oil seals/bearings are trashed and oil leaks into the turbine housing, you get smoke. Whiteish or blueish, depending on who you ask. It definitely stinks though lol.

Ya I've always heard blue smoke = blown turbo.

Shot the codes, misfiring cylinder 2 like i thought. I changed all the coils and gapped the plugs and now it runs really good. Thank god easy fix.

What do you guys think about the turbo clicking noise at high RPMs. Think the bearings going bad?
