Driving this morning and heard a pop

[Smprfi0231]

So I was driving on 495 in NoVA this morning and of course people want to do 40 in the fast lane...so I accelerated past them. As I was accelerating I heard a pop that sounded like I maybe hit the mirror of the car next to me but I knew I was too far away. Then I look at my boost gauge and Im sitting at zero. Check engine light came on shortly after that. I dont think its a blown turbo but any help/ideas on what it would be would help greatly.

I had that problem once before in my '99 Audi A4. I had just gotten it out of the shop and awhile I was driving away I heard a big pop. I pull over and found that one of the hoses wasn't tighten all the way down and it had come off!!! Thankfully that was the only one. I would check your hoses but also check to see why your getting a check engine light.

Sorry guys..it was the driver side turbo. FML

Anyone know if its possible to change it out on your own?

Unfortunately, requires engine pull to replace turbo.

Yes it's possible to do on your own.. But you will need an engine hoist and a lot of patience.

But how did you confirm it's your driver side turbo? Doesn't sound like the usual symptoms of a blown turbo...
