Paul,
Forgive me in advance, I had green chiles for breakfast today and stout cof=
fee.
What I've enjoyed most about this list is some level of technical relevance=
 in addition to empirical results shared. Reading you mail it's not exactly=
 clear how you're going to help your friend.  Sorry to hear he is in custom=
er support mode. Many MTM buyers are now having a blast.
"Brian (also Mr. F355) recently installed an RS2 tbo, EM, and chippies from=
 Hoppen" or
"I suggested he stop futzin' around already and go get the Ecam, MAF, and i=
nj's and get it over with."
Having ridden in one completed RS2 car in my experience, it whoops ass on a=
ny first stage MTM or IA ECU change specifically referring to the first ~$6=
00 step.
My car included.
But it has to be confirmed, built from a known performance point, and not j=
ust a bunch of parts hung on a block and ignited.
So may I ask you, when you DO take that ride with your friend, add some sci=
entific relevance.. buy or borrow a G-Tech device to augment your subjectiv=
e opinion. Measure you car, measure his car... compare that with your butt-=
dyno, do a first step analysis. Do something more than guess!
Whereas that G-Tech is not the end-all for BHP measurement, at least you'll=
 have some (easy to apply) test point to refer to before and after.probably=
 within +/-20%  Seat of the pants is like arm chair quarterback, 20/20 hind=
sight stock picks, opinions vary widely
To help you friend you might want to turn him over to an analytical minded =
mechanic who can establish some point of reference and diagnose his situati=
on.
Jeff Posto, now awaiting for the return blast, all in the spirit of adding =
Mexican spice to the list this morning.

My wholesaler friend Brian (also Mr. F355) recently installed an RS2 tbo,
EM, and chippies from Hoppen. Yes, the same one who's experienced numerous
back and forth problems with the ECU not working recently.

ANYway, he calls me last night and says the car is finally running (after
they asked him to help trouble shoot another client's ECU for them... Paul
F=2E, could this be yours? It sounded similar...). ANYanyway, he says he
doesn't REALLY feel THAT much of a difference in power, etc., and most
certainly not $2g's worth. He's asked me to drop over when I can (been
tough, wife been demanding baby shopping!) to take it for a burn to
determine whether my seat-o-da-pants confirms his or not. He's concerned I
guess that Hoppen may have again muffed the MTM programming...

My question is, is there anyone here who's done this same set up who can
speak to the net results achieved? I suggested he stop futzin' around
already and go get the Ecam, MAF, and inj's and get it over with. Of
course, it's always funner to spend OTHER people's $$$...
