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

[Bruce Mendel]

Oh, I gotcha. Sorry.

It's cool idea if you have to spend the money anyhow, but most likely he'll:

1. Need other stuff to make it work (ECU sw, fuel rail. etc) and wind up
spending WAY more

2. No warranty on K04s....whereas Audi will give him warranty of some sort
on the new turbos they put in, even if the rest of the car is out of
warranty.

You can buy a pair of used K03's on ebay or the boards for around $600 for
both, then plus labor at good independent shop, that's probably
$1200......way less than what Audi is quoting even after the 50% discount
