Hi every one!
I have a question regarding witch turbo to chose.
Letīs start with some background, Iīm running a stock S4 -00 with 75000 km on the meter (and as far as I know, itīs the correct milage and it has never been chiped).
A couple of weeks ago the car was starting to lett out blue smoke as soon as the engine reach working temperature. I whent down to my local Audi dealer and hade them look thru the car.
The dealer did not find anything that could be explained to make the engine smoke like it did, the only thing the mecanic could recommend was to (hear this) chang the piston rings!
With lightning speed I did take my car to tre different tuning companies, and the all said that one of the turbos had kicked in and would die soon. They all made the dignos of a turbo failure based on the symptoms: no smoke when the engine is cold (due to the fact that the oil then will be thicker), increasingly smoking when the engine is warm and the oil is geting thiner and as soon as the turbo has less work load.
Now to the question: should I replace my original turbos (K03) or chang to K04's? Is ther any one who has experience of how the car will perform with the K04's and no tuning?
