Finished reading the Sticky on all the turbo failures, but couldn't find any from the 2015 TDI. Has VW changed the design of the turbo system? Sure looks like previous years have a turbo design problem.

Well— since VW has extended the warranty on some model years (our '13 being an example) to 120K miles, I'd say that even VW has acknowledged that there was a problem. In other threads, some people assert it's been corrected, i.e, a new turbo started being used at some point in the CKRA engine. As far as the new EA288 engine, I haven't read anything.

2015 EA288 is completely new, I have not read of any problems with the turbo on them. Its looking like a really good engine so far

I have 2 2015 TDI's with around 12,000 miles on them. Been absolutely perfect except for a sway bar link.( probably from a huge pothole).

There are just too many to list....
It is a [mostly] new engine for 2015, so no long term data can be had yet that would point out any trouble spots. Check back in five years.
