    I'd think that it might be because the B6 guys have spent up to $10k more just on the car itself than we did. If i had a newer car i'd likely go the elim route to ensure the car's longevity.

    When you put a BT into an older A4, you have a lot less to lose if the engine goes south, since you paid less for the car to begin with. Which would also leave you more money for your full turbo kits.

    Speak for yourself NOOB! Some of us on here made actual car payments to Audi of America and had this thing called an original warranty. One phrase should clear this up "Returnless Fuel System"
