Default 10%, where do you get that from?
Looks like 8.5% of the reponding S4's and 5.8% of the total 2.7t respondents had failed turbos.

Of the failed turbo'd cars, has there ever been a poll of which chip manufacturers were involved?

Default No, No, 24000, MY2000, 7/99 build...
Failed coolant temp sensor, broken exhaust manifold heat shield, and (latest) broken water pump. Turbo's still sound sweet, however.

I'm impressed with the poll turn out on Audiport. 400 people is a good size. So far so good here...
