Good luck man! I really hope you find her, its hard finding a B5 alike this in excellent condition unless redone. Yes, the turbos are finikey, mine is shot atm and im riding my B5 as a beater. I believe my brother has installed new turbos but not 100%. Usually they last as he doesn't beat on it. Yeah, the VAG stuff blows but its worth it for a nearly pristine B5.

 

You have the 1.8T in your A4 correct?

 

It's actually a different turbo :P

 

The turbos in the 2.7TT are smaller and more high performance.  They're both model K03 though.

 

But anyway, the turbos don't fail from how you drive them - anything over 2.5k rpm, the turbo will be spooled to its maximum stable rpm.  That's just how turbo's work

Yeah I meant my brothers turbos were replaced in his blue S4, my 1.8T K03 is poopy lol.

Shoulda bought a Chevy. That aside it's a good looker, im not too big a fan of the off colored trim though.

Loving these responses guys

 

Getting some lovely cars appearing on here!

MORE CARZ TO OOGLE AT PLZ

I'm working on it!

A friend of mine just bought himself a BMW M3

420 horsepower coming out of the rear wheels, driving it feels like it's trying to kill you!

New or Used? Sounds super awesome I'd love to see it when you get a chance!

Nissan Qashqai, family car.

I talked to a GTR owner and he said he raced the new Corvette Stingray and lost.
