[quote]FLU, I do noticed the turbo trend and I’m cheering it every step of the way. Benz already announced that they’ll be replacing all their engine with turbo variant w/in 2.5 years. Ford is announcing they’re replacing their F150 engines with a 2.5L I4 turbo making 260HP and 300 ft-lb of tq and 3.5L V6 TT making 350HP and 390 ft-lb of tq.[/quote]
You won’t be if after a few years of ownership, not running synthetic, and not letting your turbo cool down before shutting down. Trust me on that one. Not that I’ve had a problem with oil coking on my own car (because I do run full synthetic, change every 5k miles AND run a turbo timer that lets things idle for 2 minutes while I’m not there), it will happen more or less.
What’s funny is that apparently audi is planning to use a supercharger on the next S4/S5, and not turbos. Perhaps too many problems with the biturbo in the first generation S4.
