[Biturbos4] Turbos Reliability & Replacement Cost (was: 2000 S4

[j y]

"I'll say this to anyone considering getting rid of your B5 S4: DONT. Pay
 it off, garage it, whatever. Just keep it, trust me. You may get another
 car, but you WILL want to hold onto your current S4 because there is
 nothing like it and if ya like them as much as I do, you'll sorely miss it
 in short order no matter what car you replace it with."

KEMAN - YOU ARE MAKING MY POINT. THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY TO EVERYONE ON THE LIST FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS. The B5-S4 will become a collector's car for performance car aficionados. I'm seeing this happening right now with the Porsche 951. A few years ago, 951 were totally disrespected in the Porsche world, except for a few die-hards. Now, I see more and more posts from guys looking a "decent" one.  The B5-S4 and Porsche 951 offered a TON more performance for the $ then was reflected in their orginal sticker prices. Granted, both Porsche (make the 951 more like the 968) and Audi (make the S4 more like the RS4)  could have done more with these machines, but with a few $ in mods, these machines become monsters.
