It happened again, first time at 33000 miles and now again at 82000 miles. One of my Turbos popped! KO3s are definate POS. I need some help , and any information would be greatly appreciated. I was talking to an indy and he refered to a Stage III- (minus) that is less powerfull than a standard Stage III which apparently is a bit much for the tiptronic transmission, which I have heard. I do not plan to turn this thing into a race car, but I am out of warranty, and its time for an upgrade.

If anybody has any information about a workable KO4 kit that is Titronic friendly I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

KO4's with a manual boost controller. if you limit the boost enough with the MBC you might not even need to do a fueling kit. just the KO4s and some stage I or II software. probably will need some lemi tweaks to get the air/fuel right but then you should be good to go.

you will need
+ A real 5bar Bosch MS Fuel Pressure Regulator.
+ K-04 turbos

and even with the "minus" software, I would not expect the tip to last too long...

1 at 30K.. I've been there...but another 50K later?

Same Side as the first? Were both replaced the first time?

at the time both Audi dealers here in Houston were owned/operated by the same parent company, their managment style left a lot to be desired, watched a lot of good techs leave, and the basic attitude of managment was one of smugness. there is a third Audi dealer now. But since I am out of warranty I will most likely use an Indy for repairs this time.
