Message	So the maintenance will be higher. The stock turbos are small and have a tendency of blowing at some point. But with a K04 turbo upgrade from the RS4's or RS6 turbo upgrade, they really turn into monsters. :-) But if worried about maintenance, I'd suggest going elsewhere. I have an aftermarket warranty on mine and one of the best Audi mechanics around locally so the S4 makes sense for me. But it doesn't for everyone. TTZMatt: did i ever think id be the guy to sell the z or go kart? TTZMatt: no TTZMatt: but now that ive found true love, i dont care about it anymore TTZMatt: lol - TTZMatt 10/19/07 "It's a little longer and skinnier than the one i bought." - TTZMatt on 10/22/06
