[BiturboS4] S4 Blown Turbos - Update - Audi's Preliminary Diagnosis

[j y]

Well Ti,

I know that my Y2K S4 is DEFINITELY the old style -
build date was 11/99. There weren't any 2001(s) being
built during that month. I am making the assumption
that the replacements are the NEW style with the
associated plumbing - check my update post (to this
list) for details.

Just my $.02
