Looking for some input here on my 95 S6. Has the OEM rears still and time to go. I wanted Boge gas turbo, used 4 of them on my V8 and was happy. Went to Autohaus and they have listed as Turbo Gas, bought for 239 shipped. I thought I was getting Boge. Sachs showed up, I think they are the same company these days. The part number is 170-141. They have a sticker over that, it has both names Sachs and  Boge with a Boge number 32-115-F. What I am trying to find out is are these indeed gas turbo or just the gas? They dont seem to measure up to the ones I put on my V8, and they use the same part. The piston is rather limp and in no hurry to come back up and they compress with only the slightest pressure. On the shock body it self are a Sachs Advantage sticker and a red sticker with 170 141, 38 1700 170 141, 32-115-F, 1 0701 32 115H, Made in Germany, L30 and do not open gas pressure on it. Any thoughts? Should I keep em or send em back????? Thanks
