I'm afraid the turbo's will be next, hoping not to happen when i own the car haha.
But everything that did broke was repaired properly:
Wagner IC's
KW V3 Coilovers
NEW TC
Overhauled gearbox (you know that story haha).

It also has a Stinger Card onboard, bearlock and a GPS/GSM tracking alarm

Right now you've got the best anti-theft device possible - a box with its innards mushed.

Yuo need to get a 1.9TDi badge on the back in place of the RS6 one.

I'm not really sure what to say to a person who's just summarised all of their security devices in one post. I guess the only way to make it easier for a net savvy thief would be to plonk all of your deterrents into your signature. Just a thought.

There's more! Dont ask me how, but i spoke to a person, who buys RS6's in Holland for 2k ... says enough.
He told me how they get them, and what to do against it...
