Here's the deal guys, I went and found a noguera blue 2000 s4, six speed manual, 19" moven wheels, blue alcantera recaros,on stasis suspension for 8000, its good condition there's paint fade on roof thank you AZ, that's bout it cosmetically now engine performance has me worried, there is a small boost leak, I can hear the turbos whine a bit, and the car feels like its being forced , I'm thinkin there's sumthin else wrong but I can't pinpoint what it is exactly,there is no coolant leaking or any oil leaks, it might just need a tune up but who knows for sure, its at a dealer he's telling me that's how.he.got it at an auction, now why would the car be forcing itself so much??? And is it worth the 8000$??? Feedback is very helpful guys

 

it depends on the miles. Has the timing belt been done? any codes?

 

A small boost leak could possibly cause some sluggishness.

And how much of a whine are the turbos making? Cause I can hear mine spool up..but just ever so slightly. If it sounds anything like a tuner car with lots of spool then they may be on their way out! But many factors like exhaust setup could make them louder too. Just not real loud, if you know what I mean.

 

The car has 130k, don't know about timing belt, it also has two blow off valves on the top of the manifold, they are adjustable, there's a plus and minus and and u can turn either way I'm not sure if it actually affects the performance of the and it also was low on coolant and gas

 

It's a stock exhaust setup, the boost leak is very minimal, it does an Apr sticker on the hood and an illtek front rs4 grill, it might have been tuned or something I don't know much and neither does the.dealer...I might be able to get it for 5k, but I'm really worried that this project might be too much for my experience and pockets, I just want it as a daily for now and its the color combo I've been looking for a while now and I might not find another one for a long time

 

for 5k you should take it.
so long as you have a few $$ to put into it.
