OK: "Why MORE passenger side turbos fail first". ;) What was your failure? - VonK 2003-09-03 18:56:25 (539 views)

I had the thought today, what if a new oil line was fabricated...... - Mat@4induktion 2003-09-03 15:31:06 (768 views)

Sounds like a winner. :-) - VonK 2003-09-03 17:07:00 (470 views)

Actually, it'd have to be two identical oil lines, or we'd create a condition..... - Mat@4induktion 2003-09-04 04:11:25 (582 views)

This may not be a problem, because the added flow resistance of the longer tube ---> - VonK 2003-09-04 05:23:28 (471 views)

I'll give you a call, when the next one is out. We'll brainstorm then, - Mat@4induktion 2003-09-04 11:35:51 (421 views)

nice illustration - GQ521 S4 01 2003-09-03 14:53:15 (432 views)

well...at least your oil line did not have a kink in it though - BiturboGramps 2003-09-03 14:46:46 (488 views)

No problem. :-) - VonK 2003-09-03 14:50:38 (388 views)

you could get the OEM stuff that wraps around 1.8t turbo oil supply lines. - ModifiedA4 2003-09-03 14:46:13 (508 views)

I don't think that stuff is all that great... - RKA 2003-09-03 15:01:43 (486 views)

Good point. Didn't know the 1.8t was so much better engineerd. :-) - VonK 2003-09-03 14:53:52 (548 views)

Amen to that - and the people who think I am crazy to run that oil :-P - zapco98 2003-09-03 17:19:10 (496 views)

Nice writeup. Because of that, the X chipped k04 car (hadeet) has all that wrapped. - DocSlow (Mini Pig) 2003-09-03 14:16:59 (495 views)

Thanks. Wish I'd wrapped it too. - VonK 2003-09-03 14:30:34 (402 views)

When a bigger turbo kit comes you, you have a reason to do it ;-) - DocSlow (Mini Pig) 2003-09-03 14:31:17 (476 views)

When my turbos went it was the Left turbo that blew, the right one was in perfect shape. - Eric Fletcher 2003-09-03 14:10:23 (443 views)

Did you ever determine a cause of failure...was there anything obvious, or did the - RKA 2003-09-03 14:56:39 (472 views)

No fod the turbo was a victim of a blown TBB and the overspeed that followed - Eric Fletcher 2003-09-03 15:03:39 (587 views)

:-( Okay, thanks! - RKA 2003-09-03 16:11:44 (488 views)

that's because you are special. Do you have to pi$$ on everyone's parade? - MichaelTM 2003-09-03 14:18:05 (587 views)

You must undoubtedly have the worst sig in the universe, no offense, but it's hideous. - GQ521 S4 01 2003-09-03 14:59:15 (434 views)

None taken. Thanks for your opinion. It matters - MichaelTM 2003-09-03 17:30:18 (386 views)

Now your sig is hilarious.....want some crab juice?...... : ) - S4Patrick 2003-09-05 12:31:18 (470 views)

Because not all turbo failures are pass side. - Eric Fletcher 2003-09-03 14:24:00 (471 views)

I think it was meant that there is a higher rate of pass turbo failure. - Black2001S4 2003-09-03 14:36:17 (367 views)

And, I was addressing bearing failures only. - VonK 2003-09-03 14:40:10 (445 views)

Who said ALL turbo failures? :-) - VonK 2003-09-03 14:34:06 (417 views)
