Default Turbo replacement warranty NOT voided for having aftermarket parts.

Got my turbos replaced, had short shifter, coilovers, aftermarket wheels.

Turbos replaced in 4 days, car has been running perfectly for 3,000 miles so far.

Am I alone? Sometimes seems like that around here.

Default Not alone, just some would figure it's boring to talk about AOA when they deliver and....

Super easy to voice their frustration when it's not on-time or voided or problematic.

My take onit.... Congratulations! glad to hear it and enjoy. As it's been said before. You'll tend to see messageboards being way more negative than positive, due to the fact that faults are easier to point out than successes.

Default I like to hear more of these post instead of those depressing...

void your warranty because you have an exhaust. Turbo's in the S4 is by no means affected by an upgrade in the exhaust, wheels or suspension. Even the short shifter doesn't do this.
So dealerships should replace cars based on the sole purpose of software enhancements that affect boost etc.

Default I would hope so...

even though I saw some halacious post regarding voided warranties, exhaust and blown trubos today (which is rediculous!!!!! that's RIDICULOUS!!) I can't imagine why your aftermarket parts in mention would void turbo replacment. The exhaust thing is complete bullsh!t though. What about chips... who has had turbos replaced while having tuned chips??? That is the question I have.

Default I was chipped with downpipes and zero cats and was covered

that was back in Oct '00. I was the second modified S4 in Houston to be covered for blown turbos. Subsequent failures, however, haven't been so successful.

All you Houston people can blame me
