Default Re: Don't waste your time with TBB failure's and sirening turbo's

The s4 is not without it's reliablity issues.
But you do get a 4 year warranty! Unless the regional rep voids it with your mods....

Default Not as reliable??? Please explain...

How is a naturally aspirated engine less reliable than a turbo?

Default This site shows mods for a 12 Valve engine (more)...

If you are looking at buying a new one, you get the 30v engine and can get a PES supercharger.

If you are getting a 12 Valve (96 or 97 2.8), send me an e-mail and I'll give you some more details than what's currently on my site.

Default You could go to a driving school...that's probably worth as much or more than some of the mods

listed above.
