LOL to "tiredoldman"

but i saw that S before i got mine and was thinking bout buying it but when i looked at it like 3 months ago there wasnt anything that said no turbo boost...so if you can get them down on price id say do it then just get k04s or something bigger

there is no explanation as to why there is no turbo boost so I would say he is avoiding saying something extremely negative and is hoping to catch a sucker. Stay away.

If you're still in the market for an s4 you may want to look for one that has upgraded turbos already and good documentation of everything they did as far as pereventative maintenence.
These cars aren't getting any younger and with the k03s being allergic to boost beyond stock pressures you could be buying a potential money pit.

lol, well my stage 3 would set you back more then that IF i was selling it, also my stage 2+ with 97k would be more like 14.5. But i do have a friend who jsut got a new car and has a silver 2001.5 s4 with jsut over 100k for 12k on the nose, here are the mods i know of, apr chip couple of programs, new shocks and h&r springs lowered about a inch, apr boost gauge and I think cat back unless he took it off. let me know and I can give him a call.
