Default they say it's because of a chip (more)....

and though i did have a chip in the car about 8 months ago, i took it out becuase i was worried about the turbos blowing. the dealership knew about the chip back then and has been cool about replacing everything under warranty (TBB, BPV, rebuilt trans.) until now....i'm talking to AoA about it...

Default Sorry to hear....what was the build date on your S?

Is someone out there keeping track of the build dates of people who have reported that they have blown their turbo(s)

I'd like to see how that would come together....are their more cases before a certain build-date and less there after....?

Default It won't be Stage 3, it will be K04 turbos, piping, and installation. (a new clutch wouldn't be a

bad idea either).

yeah....if AoA doesn't jump in, KO4s are inevitable.
