Default I think the turbo comes with a crack in it since all the turbos that I have seen that came off of a

car had the same crack in the same place.

Don't let the facts bother the board. This was old news two years ago.

Chipped, no chipped, so what?! Non-fatal, discovered years ago.

Default "so what" ----- just thought id share

it was disturbing to me to find that i had cracks in my manifold and turbo.
i thought there might be others who want to know what was happening inside thier cars

it was not meant to cause trouble, or scare people. no need to be rude

Default Nothing wrong 'bout that...

The pics were very good.

The issue for me is you allusion to "reliability" and chipping. This is the sort of strident misinformation that preys on the worst fears of newbies, and reaffirms the wrong perception that many have about Audi's and turbos in general.
