Default Any thoughts on this set of K04's??

I don't know anything about this seller, anyone dealt with them before? This seems like an awfully good price for new KO4's with inlets, maybe too good to be true? Here's the ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Default Yeah, I wondered about that, I thought maybe they were made by a third party

or something. Are there other manufacturers besides borg warner that make these?

id keep looking, reading the feedback, hes only sold to one audi tt and they didnt have anything great to say, just "repaired my problem" or somthing. if you are going to do this id recommend doing it right and buying from a reputable seller with preferable b5 s4 exp. try getting into one of those group buys that drops the price a little and go with a pro. my .02

well there was another post for the ko4's, audi TT and he said "excellent product" still doesn't give much information he does offer a 1 year warranty. send him a couple of questions on ebay id ask him if they are brand new like he states they are, and why they are gold, ask him anything you would like to know it seems like hes a good guy and isn't interested in scamming.

As much trouble as it is to change the turbos on this car, I would spend the extra money to get new ones and not have to worry about it. I bought a cheap Fleabay turbo for my son's A4 and it lasted 30 minutes.

Those turbos are from Meridian auto parts.Ive contacted the company auctioning them and they said they have not had any returns but they are still aftermarket knockoffs so who knows how long they will last.Also they have not sold many on ebay so what good is the fact they have had no returns if no one has purchased any of them. If you go to Meridian auto parts they are the hp turbos for the s4 just FYI.
