Took my Evoque to the dealership, was told I need a new turbocharger and it would cost 10K. Doesn't sound right, and the mechanic didn't seem like he wanted to take the time to pinpoint the issue. Should I do the work myself, find another dealership/shop, ideas on the best place to buy online a new turbocharger? HELP!

If you still get a check engine light after you replace the manifold replace your turbo boost pressure valve located at the upper left of the block looking into the engine compartment I found one for 35 bucks off eBay it appeared to be pretty good quality and the light hasn't come on for 50 miles and I passed emissions today.
When you purchase a new catalytic converter see that it has new studs and nuts then you can just hacks all the old ones off cuz they're usually a really rusted so bad that you don't recognize them they're just like a knot of rust. Be sure there are really tight so there's no leakage and then you may want to put some muffler cement on it on the part further back heading towards the muffler I used the paste and then put the tiger rap on it as you can see the tiger rap did not shrink melt to the bond so I would just go without that next time I'll probably take it off. The upper part of the catalytic converter that goes into the manifold is the trickiest part to get the three bolts loose I removed the guide they say not to do that in the manual that you should only loosen it but I found that to be a total nuisance and in the way quite often I have a picture of the catalytic converter to manifold bolts but it's very difficult to see if you go to the bolt at about 3:00 then follow that down to about the 7:00 position you may be able to make it out it's just above the lower aluminum heat shield. It's not the bull that looks obvious though

Getting that out was one of the more easier things I thought of the whole process I just removed the firewall, air intake, heat shield the accessory battery and its tray. It was the only time that I took a shortcut that it didn't take more time than had I followed the other people's instructions
I believe it's called the mass or maff connector that sits on top. You might also want to check that your air filter box is tightened down correctly and that no wires are accidentally keeping it from closing tightly. And also the large hose that flowss out of the air box needs to be snug as well as the other connections. I've been having some problem with the crankcase breather hose connector that hose is located towards the back of the hose leading about 18 in from the box it seems to need to be twisted after it's seated to be seated properly but that of course you could always make sure your gas cap is secure.

I've gone down a rabbit hole with that. Most of the manifolds crack about 80,000 miles you have to get on a lift and remove the heat shield to see that and for 40 bucks you can get a smoke leak detector off Amazon to make sure your connectors connections are sealed but don't run it through the box remove the large hose from the box and run it through there as I'm told the mass airflow said sir is delicate.
2015 just turned 80000 miles on it. I had it up on the backyard buddy today it looks good and it sounds fine but the check engine lights come on twice in three days. I've bin nursing it though error code P00299; Hole in turbo charger tube from manifold, split turbocharge dump valve diaphragm, or seized turbocharge are suggested possibilities. I could not see the manifold cover from underneath it. Trying to figure out how to upload the video.
I purchased an e manual but it's like 5000 pages and nothing looks the same as on the car. I'm in Allentown PA. Just started getting engine light and the code for turbo. eBay has them for$250. Did the radiator last week quite the learning experience just went off you tube. Can you send me the service manual section for the turbo do you just need my email. Just signed up so not familiar with the rules here.
