Message	After dropping my freshly convertted TT off at the alignment ship this morning, I thought twice to myself and made sure to turn off the boost controller and write down the milage. Little did I know they would be doing a bit of joy riding it in.... and now both turbos are smoking at idle. Is it possible that this could have happened in a mere 3 miles of hard driving at 7.5 psi? Should I even bother to try and blame the shop for this? Alex
