Default i never cooled mine down after i drove it and when i pulled it, the turbo was perfect

i pulled it to install stage 3 setup.

these turbos are water cooled, why dont people understand that?

Default 166k on my car. 80k of which was chipped.

One replacement turbo at 140k, due to a cheeze-dick wastegate stopper design.

If you want to play you have to pay. If you cannot afford to replace turbo's on your Audi you should buy a cheaper/less maint intesive car.

Default No erroneous posts here pal...but then again, your above all of us...right?

Or are you still pissed that Rob gets credit for helping the forum and you get none? You seem to be a real trouble-maker as of late. BTW, how was it erroneous? I assume you have had several VAC lines "pop off from boost" in your A4?
