If you have a 7/99 build and have had your turbos go south, say "I". "I", and I think Zerin, loanshark, uzanak, and several others have experienced this too, with 7/99 build dates.

For just those that reported this to the AudiWorld public, that has got to be hugely disproportionate to the failure rate for those thousands of S4's not built in 7/99.
