Default TURBO FAILURE!

At 15k miles, my turbo is being replaced! Started the car in the driveway, as I pulled away I looked in the rearveiw mirror and ...A BIG CLOUD OF BLUE SMOKE COVERED THE CUL-DE SAC!!!
Took it to my dealer the next day, they had it for a week running tests and the conclusion is that the turbo is gone! Turns out this part is on an engineer hold until they confirm through a week of tests, but now has now been released to my dealer. Turbo is on the West coast which is good... all other parts needed to replace are not! My service advisor says he is praying that they will get the parts by NEXT FRIDAY! Sounds like the factory guys are freaking out over this. Anybody have as many miles yet?
