Hi All. New V8 S4. What are your feelings about Audi dropping the turbos?

I'm in favor of the idea
I've never trusted the S4 twin turbo engine. I love the car, but I'm on my second one already because I'm afraid to keep it after the warranty has expired.
If they come up with a V8 with equal or greater horsepower to the present S4, I'll be delighted. I'm on my 8th Audi, and it wasn't until the S4 that any of them had a turbo. I had a turbo Celica All Trac awd (remember those?) blow sky high on me shortly after the warranty expired, and I've been nervous about turbos ever since.
So if the S4 drops the turbos, I'll finally be willing to keep one longer than the 24 months or less it takes me to use up the warranty. I don't drive the S4 because I want to use it as a racer; I just want the quickest awd ski express I can find. I love the A6 4.2, but it's just too big and too expensive.
