The turbo fans are somewhat disposable parts - they will go bad after a while. 50K is a little early, but not unusually so (75K is the number usually mentioned).
If this is the problem, the turbos will have to be replaced. You can purchase OEM parts and replace in-kind, but you can also look at upgrading the turbos for increased performance. If you don't have an extended warranty, this might not be a bad way to go.

Vw has had some problems with the oiling systems on their Turbo cars. Make sure you use the proper oil and change it regular. I believe VW says 7 to 10 thousand miles but with the Turbo they may be shorter. Call your local dealer and ask. Also if you change the oil your self make sure you use the proper oil. The wrong wait oil can cause problems

Your turbo is about to die.... Take it in now not later because you are out of warranty. Oil satrvation is common in vws and the stupid manual stating change every 7k bull crap. Your oil feed line is probably clogged and the turbo is wearing out or one of your intercooler pipes is knocked loose causeing the noise. Get her checked out before you pay 1600 plus labor...

I had an '03 and it made a sort of high pitch "whirring" sound, I guess kind of like a blender, when I would accelerate faster than normal. If that's what it sounds like, it's just the turbo kicking in...man, I loved that car :(

First, check your air filter. Also make sure that the oil & oil filter is changed at least every 3,000 miles. You could be hearing either "bearing noise" or the turbo "wastegate".
