2000 S4 with just under 67k. APR stage 2 as of about 55k. Everything is going well, had the turbos inspected last winter by a specialist and they were fine. Key is to stay on top of your fluids and make sure you cool them down after a long run.

Im at 93k on stock turbos. I have been stage 2+ since 60k.

I really dont know how you guys are driving this car around stock for so long. Just suck it up and at least go stage 1 or why even bother with this car!! I have turned my chip mode off a couple times thinking that it is more practical that way for commuting, but it never lasts more than 15 minutes before i get frusterated with how slow it is. but then again, 124k on stock turbos, if you chip it, you better have some money saved up

I had 96k on my turbos when I went stage 3. They were in great condition with little if any shaft play.

Well, my intentions were to slowly modify the car bit by bit...but what's been happening is that every time I have some money saved up, something breaks or needs to be replaced. There's so many issues right now with the car that chipping it, to me, is out of the question for right now. My feeling is that I don't want to mod an unhealthy car...its pretty depressing driving this car around right now, it's a shell of its former self

I've got 92k on the stock turbos so far. I've got the low temp after run sensor inline as a safety measure. Mobile 1 0w40 always.
