What did they do for you, and how do you like them?

Default Excellent question...

I know that the TT folks have almost GOT to have them (well, one each for them). But does the S4 put any less stress on the stock POS units than a TT would?

I've still got less than 500 miles on my new ride, but I keep wondering if the Baileys would make things ever smoother..?

Default Agreed, DV is a 1.8T issue, not 2.7T. The reliability of the bosch unit in the 2.7 is way better..

than in the 225TTQ. If your worried (paranoid) about reliablity in your S4 then get an aftermarket valve (there's more than one now) but it's not gonna make your car any faster. Me?, I think I'd like an excuse for my dealer to give me the updated turbos'. "those damn POS porsche DV's blew up my turbo's!!!" =
