Re: HELP ! S4 having trouble breathing
thanks for the reply, i do appreciate it. I got my ECU flashed @ Tapp Auto.
here is the update:
turns out that both my bypass valves and my TBB were ****ed. One valve was leaking, the other was completely blown, and my TBB had a few rips in her... All were changed, i put in some 710N valves and she's driving great again. Perhaps garages should sell these as a combo pack, it would be a smart marketing move from what I hear.
I did have one turbo slightly surging due to the leaky valve. It soundes like that got fixed but, at cold startup (or at least until my car is compeltely warmed up), i still hear something weird going on with my turbo... i'll just deal with it when it blows, i think, considering a turbo job is 17 hours (as quoted by Tapp Auto).

Re: HELP ! S4 having trouble breathing
I'd write one up myself but I'm definitely not mechanically knowledgeable enough to accurately describe the process step-by-step. Aside from the fact that it is very easy to install the bypass valves backwards, it didn't seem too complicated... Some pictures with the DIY would be key.
