As I stated in the followup I sent a love letter to the Audi dealer and today I got a nice call from the service manager. He apologized and is sending me a $100.00 gift certificate that I can use for anything. He also said he would give me a good deal on the repair. Too late.

I decided on Tuesday to try an Indi garage, Autobahn in Peabody Ma. I read about them on the New England Forum. The dealer screw up was a boon to my wallet and I found a great indi garage. Can't say enough about Autobahn, great guys, knowledgeable, and got to see my first Noble.

It took them 6 hours to replace the hose, they decided to drop the sub-frame to get at it. Total cost was $550.00 compared to 1250.00 the dealer was going to charge me.

The hose was broken at the wastegate, not above as I thought. Nice to drive the car with full boost, even though I'm stock.

I'm always nervous when someone else works on my car. So when you try someone new you never know. I felt comfortable when I saw the stable you guys were working. BTW I left my orange Nalgene bottle in your office. I'll pick it up on my way to work on Monday..
