No problem. :-) - VonK 2003-09-03 14:50:38 (380 views)

you could get the OEM stuff that wraps around 1.8t turbo oil supply lines. - ModifiedA4 2003-09-03 14:46:13 (497 views)

I don't think that stuff is all that great... - RKA 2003-09-03 15:01:43 (478 views)

Good point. Didn't know the 1.8t was so much better engineerd. :-) - VonK 2003-09-03 14:53:52 (535 views)

Did you ever determine a cause of failure...was there anything obvious, or did the - RKA 2003-09-03 14:56:39 (463 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 (578 views)

Because not all turbo failures are pass side. - Eric Fletcher 2003-09-03 14:24:00 (457 views)

I think it was meant that there is a higher rate of pass turbo failure. - Black2001S4 2003-09-03 14:36:17 (359 views)
