[BiturboS4] TBB questions

Thu Sep 11 14:30:36 EDT 2003

When my TBB failed, I went to the local Audi shop and bought a new one for
about $14. Took me about 15 minutes to swap out the bad one. Easy job.

Don't bother with the APR bipipe - waste of money in my opinion. Plus, it's
metal and so it gets hot and heats up the air charge...not to mention that
I've seen at least one person with a pinhole leak in the metal of the
bipipe!
