at the moment im getting the a4 b5 qt serviced , also the turbo needs attention as well it has started to make tinny noise when deselerating ! , the turbo has been taken to turbo tech ,
Has anyone had this problem before ? if i need to replace it what is a good turbo to fit for a replacment , shane

the wastegate begins to rattle on k03's as they get older, depending on what you want to spend a k04 can be a nice upgrade but no gain in power will be seen without maf, injectors & software

might be time for a new turbo

want to sell the audi so yes will be replacing the turbo for a genuine one , if it can be found locally ?

New/used Ko3's are not costly. If you are planning on selling the car I would just go with a stock turbo, no need for a ko4.

I know we aren't local, but for pricing ideas - this is what you are looking for.

Got pics of the turb mate????? Seen a couple cracked, and at the same time found the oil pipe sludged to the max, obviously overheating and not lubricating properly. Did you clean out your oil pipes???? common thing on the 20VT. Lots of heat from the Turbo and manifold baking the sludge and carbon in the pipes.
