That's very short-sighted.
Can you elaborate a little more, what you said is pretty vague.

No, their mentality was actually that they have EPA standards to meet. If you're worried, get an Oil catch can and catch all the crap getting recirculated into the charge pipe / intercooler / intakes. Then check in 50k if you need walnut blasting, which I heavily doubt especially with an OCC. There have been people that opened up their S55 and valves are essentially clean at high mileage, however, blow by still occurs. The S55 just doesn't seem that prone to buildup compared to N54 / VAG DI cars, but as with all turbo / DI cars, blow-by is never a good thing, whether minuscule or not.
