K24 Turbocharger mods? Any thoughts?

[Todd Phenneger]

Talk to Ned at IA.  He has a turbo that will work.  I dont know
the specs and You'll likely spend just as much as an RS-2 but
its an AUdi Motorsport K24 that is balanced better, differetn
bearings I think, and flows much more air with better spoolup
than the stock k24.
  I'll shut up know before I say something incorrect but thats
my understanding.  Ned can provide the details.
