I never drove the car hard at all since the CEL light came on, got it into the dealer right away. They re-lubed the turbos and the car has been fine ever since.

I never got any lights?

I have noticed that at idle my tach needle bounces up and down like a millimeter or two? Does that sound normal. It's minimal but could that mean I have a rough idle or engine issues?

I asked the dealer about that. The tech said it was variances in the digital signal and that it wasn't representative of RPM fluctuations. I had my 40K service done and it was still doing it so I don't think it's an issue.
