[Biturbos4] DTC 17579 on a 2000 Audi S4 (B5)

[Grant]

Maybe I wasn;t following this closely enough.  Was this code connected 
with an EPC light on the dash and a transition to "limp mode"?  If so, 
I'll provide my experience - since the official audi repair is quite 
costly, and occasionally un-needed.
