RS2 turbocharger

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Agreed with the below, especially if you are talking straight T04E non-hybrid, has not place being on a small 2.2.  Currently I'm running the 50 trim hybrid which I believe is the best overall trim for good streetability.  The 57 and 60 trims will build good, useable boost but at about 500+ rpm response lag, definitely on the really big side for a little 2.2.  Funny, though, how many 1.8t guys are running a big T3III/T04E60 trim.

I wouldn't mind palying around with an RS2 if it didn't cost 2-3 times more than the hybrids I have acess to now.
