1st post 2000 A4 turbo
I just bought a 2000 A4 turbo the other day and need help with some suggestions.
The car has 140k on it and has always been serviced at Audi
The timing belt/water pump/belts/hoses etc etc were done at 120k and the car is in great shape was used to drive to work every day 200 highway miles round trip by a friends wife.
Car has original turbo and clutch
Now for my questions
I want to go ahead and put a new turbo and clutch in but don't know what would be best. I work at a complete service shop and have access to mechanics and get an incredible discount on labor. I don't want anything extreme I just want the car to run smoothly I see k03 turbos on ebay and 'luk' and 'sachs' clutch kits but don't know if those are good ideas or not. I put less than 15k a year on cars and just want this thing to drive as smooth as it looks.

The clutch is begining to go and so I just want to head it off and do it now before it gets bad. The turbo I figured I might as well do it now because th other one has 140k on it and I don't want to wait for a problem(unless you have heard of them lasting much longer than 140k).

shouldn't have a problem with the turbo for a while. especially since the miles are almost all highway. and if your only gona put 15k on it a year then definitely just keep the turbo and put the money to good use elsewhere
