Hi all, (first post)

I have just purchased my lovely new toy of a B5 S4 Avant (Pics to follow). Already I am over the moon with the car as it is fully loaded, heated seats the lot.

Although I am now starting to think that i have made a stupid purchase.

I love audis, before this I had a B7 2tdi and before that I have a 1.9tdi B5 so I am not new to the brand or the shape, although after doing alot of research I decided to take the plunge and fork out the S4. Now when I test drove the car it drove magnificent, perhaps it was adrenaline but i could not fault it. Now however I am starting to hear the turbo spool up a fair bit, and after a quick search on the internet I am convinced turbo lady has come and visited me.

Can you guys take a look at the below and either tell me I am insane or I should start saving.

This video was going up a slight incline starting in second gear.

This was recorded on a private road.

I had posted this on another US forum, but they don't seem to helpful, but I can see from reading a bit on here there are a fair from the UK. Any comments would be appreciated.
 
I should mention the car is completely stock with FASH.
 
Thanks for the quick reply Andy, when I test drove it seemed very tight and well looked after. I am looking forward to becoming an active member on the forum.
 
Boost leek eh. That's sound like something I could do myself, what do you suggest a set of new hoses? Any tips for a DIY boost leak checker?!
 
Superb, purchased. Thanks a lot for all your input guys, greatly appreciated. Any SW meets any time soon, would love to see some of your pride and joys, give me some inspiration.
 
I have been talking to some of the ASN guys recently and we are looking to do some more meets. Around the Bournmouth area...
 
Bournemouth, that's only 40 minutes down the road. Count me in when its all arranged.
 
Just had a listen a few times, I've had few turbo cars in my time and tbh it sounds fine, I put it down to new car jitters, just enjoy it mate
