Fwd: [BiturboS4] BLOWN Turbos - Can I Assume That Audi Is Providing Me With Updated S4 Turbos ?

[adamschwartz at rcn.com]

I dont have the answer to the question, but How about another
question. Why not blow off Audi all together and get after
market turbos put in. I know Audi is going to split it 50/50
with you, but you are still tossing $2700 at them.... AWE has
a kit that is only $2k more than what you are going to
spend... (easy for me to say.. not my money!)  And it gives
you k04's and larger injectors. Hell, you could probably get
part of that kit, skip the injectors... and have better
turbos that woiuld last forever as they are designed for more
boost.

If it were me, I would want to have the car better than
before if I was spending all that cash... I guess you do too,
which is why you want to be sure to at least be getting the
updated part...

Just a thought...
