I took mine to Germany for the weekend and I reckon we could have done there and back on a tank, did the journey back without stopping, really comfortable, they have a few little issues but no more than any other car. How long ago was the turbo done, can be a sign of the oil pump giving up, actuator can be changed separately from the turbo, if the VNT stopped working it can be a sign of short journeys clogging up the vanes. Don't let VW near it with their emissions fix otherwise it will need a new EGR as well although I think they're doing these under warranty now if they fail after the fix.
Had mine nearly 3 years.
