If you're talking about US models and model years, there is no such
thing as a '98 A6 with an turbo I5. Either the model year is incorrect
or the ad is wrong about the engine.
The only "A6" with a turbo I5 is the '95 S6 (which is also known as
the S4 with minor front/rear styling differences for model years
'92 through '94).
