Not sure I would agree there are "technical issues"
with the 2.7T.  Yes there are higher incidence of
turbo failures than with older Audis, but most if
not all cases involve chipped cars, eg. higher boost,
which the little K03 just can't handle like the older
big turbos.  The tradeoff is the nearly nonexistent
lag, a benefit I appreciate every time I get in my
coupe, needing to relearn that the pedal must be
pressed several seconds before actually wanting the
go.

As for TSBs, they are online at
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/tsb/index.cfm
you will see that besides a few bulletins regarding
the Bridgestone RE040 fiasco, the only thing out
there relates to front license plate mounting.
