[s-cars] URS4 vs Biturbo S4

[matt ludwig]

Hey Northrup,

No problem at all. What I was referring to was what someone else 
actually already highlighted- blown K03 turbos over a pretty damn short 
period of time. The motors as I know are fairly robust and have 
certainly proven can take the abuse us audiots love to pressure them 
into.

I should have used a better description of what I was trying to say. I 
can say I have VERY limited experience w/ those motors and they are 
mostly through a close friend of mine who had the first year of the 
NeuS4 in the states- ('99, '00 was it?) which was put to a very high 
level of tuning and abuse and those little hairdryers pretty much gave 
up the ghost after ~15k miles. was pretty pathetic to see and being 
competent wrenches among us, we were confused, stuck, and in awe of how 
difficult it was to get anything apart to even get to the turbos!- let 
alone work on them.

Those on the list w/ these rides should take my place on commenting on 
their motors and let me stick to what i know. ;) The true focus of my 
post was on commenting and giving backing up the 20vt cars' motors for 
their strength and endurance.

Thanks for bringing that up and having me clarify.

Sincerely,

matt ludwig.
