Turbo lady strikes - only 30k miles on ko3's

[AudiTechS4]

well i heard her louad and clear last night. time for an upgrade i guess.
no oil in intercooler lines yet though

[AudiSportB5S4]

wow that sucks man. its all that thin air out in AZ lol. really goes to show you that they can go whenever.

[Rated S]

Mine busted at 53k. But that's 'cause my wastegate line got disconnected

[AudiTechS4]

damn az thin and hot as fuck air 116 deg yesterday

[96A4FwdJimmy]

k04 or k03 swap?

[AudiTechS4]

hint-see my sig ;)

[S-Power]

WoW that really is amazing, I have 96k on the clock right now and im still on my k03. crazy

[SilverSurferS4]

lol, im on my 3rd set of k03's at 65k miles...
all covered by audi while the car was under warranty..

[Rajan147]

i just ordered stage 3 parts myself, game on

[RolledMySTi]

It seams K03 are hit and miss. I can't believe they can go out 3 times in 65k. I've got 90k on mine and she pulls like a champ.

[AudiTechS4]

mine were replaced at 75k while under cpo warranty and i have 105k now and have been chipped for 3 k of them so ...

[S4Per]

mine went after 200 miles on the car. no joke. i think i may have the record ;)

[ThirdStrike]

i went 130k on original turbos. k03s are unpredictable. my yetta has a k03s with 105 on it .knocks on wood.

[AudiTechS4]

well my ko4's i have are used and have about 12k on them. i hope they are in good condition the guy i bought them from here in arizona upgraded to rs6 turbos

[lrg8683]

i had 103k on my k03's and they looked in REALLY good shape when i took em out.

[Billasec4life]

i just got the dentist drill going a few weeks ago....68k

[So_NAudi]

113,000 on the originals. W00t!

[Trxjw]

These threads absolutely decimate the morale of us potential S4 purchasers, lol.

[Allaidback]

Mine busted at 53k. But that's 'cause my wastegate line got disconnected

how long was it disconnected for?

[The_Jerbel]

I got 160k miles on my stock K03's. They are sitting in my garage still perfectly functional.

[Iosilver]

I got 88k on my Ko3s an it was the driverside turbo that went. Anyone need Rs4 inlet pipes i have new never used ones im thinking of selling because they dont fit my new turbos.

[VinNyS4]

126k on orginals and no noise and pull strong

[Jdubya]

I think there are WAY more cars with perfectly fine stock turbo's they there are busted ones. My S4 had 110K on stockers and my Allroad has 68K on the stockers with no problems.

[Videlov]

Eh I have the dentist drill as well, not all the time, depends how I'm accelarating.

[awdjunkies]

hahaha I was thinking the same thing.. Cause I mightbe in the market..(Well here in a few months that is)

[GramCracker]

mine went after 200 miles on the car. no joke. i think i may have the record ;)

Literally 200 miles?

[Bee Five]

93K on original K03's, pulls like a champ and no turbo lady. On another note I can't wait for them to go out because K04's pulls so much harder

[Matt Danger]

There are. Most cars still have their original K03s but people don't regularly make "Yep, everything's fine!" threads.

Although it is true that K03s are prone to failure and the number of cars that have had K03 failures is unacceptable.

[highPSI-S4]

i thought mine blew, but they didn't just a hose popped off. i'll know when i see the white smoke. 109,875 miles on mine and now i'm fighting boost leaks, it's just a matter of time now.

[AlexsB5S4]

i literally just blew my drivers side today with 82k on them
