compression test came back fine (A little high ~150 across the board).
Mechanical oil pressure test came back fine so the oil light on is probably the switch/sensor.
The shop pressurized the intake system with no leaks found..
Also pressurized the cooling system and they found a minimal drop in pressure and a small pool in the valley pan area. Nothing to explain the amount of coolant i have been loosing since owning the car.
Performed a cylinder leak down test and the engine tested :
cyl 1: 6%
cyl 2: 5%
cyl 3: 5%
cyl 4: 5%
cyl 5: 5%
cyl 6: 6%
The bank2 turbo is very "wet" so pretty much everything points to needing new turbos.
Any DIYers want a smoking deal on a black 01 s4 6speed with 114k miles that needs new turbos?... seriously.

well i have it listed here (Denver) for 7500 but i really don't know. it's already thousand(s) less than i've paid (not to mention what i owe) and that's not counting the thousands i put into it right after i bought it. But i really don't have the money to fix it since i wasn't planning on doing the turbos so soon but i really don't have a good option..

I would just keep driving it then until they completly go out. Who knows it could be a while. Turbos seem fine besides this?
Anyway. I couldn't see getting that much for it with a turbo on the way out. I might be in the market later this year for a 6sp with blown turbos.
The last option I have for you, is that imola motorsports in MN is apparently putting on a promotional thing where they will install k04s for 4grand parts and labor.
Obviously alot more money. but it's an idea.

yeah i'm blowing enough smoke to make it almost impossible to really drive... i guess nothing is really stopping me from driving it though.
i know i won't be able to get anything out of the car... but you never know. as i said, i just don't really have any good choices.
i'm sure i'd spend more getting the car to imola than just getting it done here locally :P thanks though...

Yeah, I was assuming it could be driven there, and then a rental for a week, and then pick it up. its atleast a 2,000+ discount over new k03 at a dealer... But there are plenty of shops around there.
