It seems like this problem is bigger than I originally thought. I was considering the mk7 but what good is all the tuned power if the turbos keep failing.

I mean not a single person has had to pay out of pocket for one. Is it annoying? Yes, but I don't think it's the end of the world especially considering the low number of people in the US that it has happened to

Yea I wouldn't be overly concerned it is a know issue with a batch of turbos made during a certain timespan. As far as I know the replacements have been fine

This is one of the reasons i havent pulled the tune plunge yet on my mk7, its twice the power delivery than mk6 stage one, things bound to happen.
