Rolf-
the RS4 turbo'ed 2.7Ts don't seem to fail as often. No, I'm not a 
professional, but I've not heard of or seen 1.8Ts have turbo failures as 
often when they're properly maintained- I still believe that the 2.7Ts seem 
to munch turbos, even when they are immaculately maintained (oil and filter 
changes with M1 0W40 every 3k, proper cooldown, etc.).
 You should know that K04s are a very different turbo from the K03 in terms 
of construction- the impeller shaft diameter is much larger, oil passages 
larger, etc.
 I think your trivialization of my comments is just being insulting- why is 
it that some of the Japanese companies have no issues with their engines, 
but you're basically affirming that there are issues with Audi engines? Just 
because Audi has used Bosch for so long doesn't excuse the fact that other 
cars don't have MAF issues like the VW and Audi engines of recent years.
 I didn't purchase a B5 S4tt for the very problems that the cars have- I 
don't relish the thought of dropping $5k+ on turbo replacement to a guy like 
you just so I can drive an Audi. Until those issues are resolved, I'm not 
buying anything Audi that's new or nearly-new. I still maintain that Audi 
hasn't done much for its product line since the C4 S6.
