[BiturboS4] Blown Turbos (Non-Chipped S4) - Update

[Kjos']

Not exactly. I am an example of Audi honoring a blown turbo warranty
slightly outside of the official warranty (on a previous car). Audi must be
consistent. If they honor a slight extension for one, they should for all
under similar circumstances. I think there is a legal argument. Wally?
