I assume the " T " means "turbo"?
 
Yeah.  Now check that the impellor retaining nut is still on the turbo 
spindle.  Either that, or dismantle the exhaust and fish it out - it won't have 
gone far.  It won't be recognisable, though.

As a complete "by the by" - I took my ur-quattro into Autohaus Kaufmann in
Hofheim (second exit on the A66 towards Frankfurt from the Wiesbadener
Kreuz) for a duff oil warning switch to be replaced.  When they asked for
an address, I gave the local address of some friends.  Several weeks later, 
they received a letter from Autohaus Kaufmann saying "there is no record of
the timing belt being changed on this vehicle."  I was long since back in
England.  After two more letters, Autohaus Kaufmann actually sent a new timing
belt (unsolicited) to ny friends' address.  They sent it to England, where the
local dealer fitted it during a 10,000 mile service without comment or
charge.
