Default 2004 A4 1.8T won't start

2004 A4 1.8T Front wheel drive
VIN: WAUJC68E44A215702
Manufacture date: 02/04
Obd2 codes: p0420, p0243, & p0171

Notable: factory recall replacement of coils.

My gut tells me I ran the turbo too long on a recent road trip to Salt Lake City, (15 hour drive) and then a three hour stop n go followed by four hours of non-stop driving, a week later. It would not start the next day. The p0420 code has been on for some time. I replaced both O2 sensors around two years ago. There was a 'whine/hum' coming from what I assume is the fuel pump for the past couple years. Money is very tight today. Can anyone help me determine what I must do to be up and running again?

2. No other codes? What does that code mean? Post it
3. Wrong forum.
