Default Anyone with a chipped 2002 S4 blow the turbos?

I looked through the forum and couldn't find too much info. I know the 2002's had better oilines to the turbos and few other minor enhancements. Just wanted to know...as I own a 2002. Thanks.

Enhancements happened in 2001...not 2002.

Don't you mean 2001.5?

Yes, they'll still blow turbos.

That's when the big bad f-hose and bad MAFs went away.

Default Turbos were revised then too IIRC

Different part numbers suggest a revision

Default Yes, but 2001.5 isn't really a model year that Audi refers to.

But you're correct...I probably should have been more specific.

Default Turbos have been destroyed from all model years. IMO, it's a combination of luck, mods,

and driving style. If the entire population of Audiworld drove on stock chips and like grandmothers, we would only hear of a few turbo failures (the unlucky ones). Because the people on AW are more likely to tinker with their cars and drive them pretty aggressively, the turbos in the AudiWorld data pool are probably more likely to be killed.
