Most updated parts 10/00+ (2001.5+) Faster stage II 2000 (A) Fastest stage III 2001 (M)
They updated the turbos but they still fail.. But the better intake manifold and the lack of PITA to change Fhose would sway me to a 2001+ vehicle.

I was asking this same question, I just bought a 2001.5
The build date was October 2000. It has ESP, but as mentioned here, you can just turn it off. The F-hose has been eliminated and there is a different throttle body boot design. It's true that the turboes can still fail, but it appears that fewer 2001.5 models have fewer problems. Audi made some design changes for a reason.

Don't have to ask anyone, off is off on my 02 until I turn it back on
and I've hit the brakes pretty damn hard coming into the infield on the North Course of Pocono. I've never had ESP re-engage.
Maybe your friend needs to have his car checked by an Audi tech.
