K24 Turbocharger mods? Any thoughts?

[Mihnea Cotet]

Thanks for the suggestion Todd but I think my friend will rather stick with
his stock K24 or go with a K26/27 if he has to trade low-RPM response for
something else... Furthermore, RS2 prices in the US and in Europe are
totally different, depending on which dealership/country you get your turbo
from prices can be about 2 times cheaper in Europe than some US suppliers...

Cheers,

Mihnea


PS: and probably Ned won't appreciated giving me any information as I've
somehow been playing the competitor for him for a few weeks now...
