Short story had turbos replaced 1 month ago for rattle noise... 1 week later i still hear a rattle when i accelerate lightly, so i bring it in, they keep it for 2 weeks then i get a call saying im going to receive a new engine.

Has anybody had this done, and how long did there procedure take. the SA said a couple of weeks, the tech said a couple of days.. and do i have to follow break in procedures as if it were only 0 miles on the motor.

That is crazy. I am really curious about the driving history of your car.
I know alot of us dog them daily and I wondering how the engine and powertrain are going to holdup over time.
