Default poll: how many people have had their turbos replaced because they died?
i've been excited about possibly getting an S4, but all the talk of blow turbos scares me. so i'm wondering how many of you have had your turbos replaced, not as an upgrade to the KO4s or anything, but because your stock turbos were no more. thanks much-

Default oh crap, and if you've never had your turbos replaced, please reply too

Default Last time I checked...
2% of stock turbos and 14% of chipped turbos, but IMO, it is close to double those numbers.

Default 43k and going strong - too many factors to really say what causes it
could be caused by many different variables.
