Wilco.  Uh, I have been a little lazy with the FAQ lately.

that the plane jane comes with the audi tag on the cold side, the 7200 Comp
doesn't come with any tag on the cold side.

According to a Jeff Goggin page that USED to be here:
http://www.mindspring.com/~audidudi/HTML/RS2turbo.htm, the 7200 Competition
cold side number (KKK) is: 5326 101 5160.

Last year, Bruce Mendel ran an RS2 turbo GP for a couple of us.  Going
through ordinary channels ("some guy" in Germany ordering from a dealer) and
without even trying, we all received turbos with the above number.  So, the
"RS2 Comp" came up for discussion and there was a flurry of checking,
cross-checking, guessing, confirming, rumors, conjecture, and hearsay.  When
the dust settled, we a) felt good about that number, agreeing that we had in
fact received the "RS2 Comp" and b) had no idea why we were so excited about
it!  Few people (at least few people who post) have had the luxury of being
able to compare an RS2 turbo and 7200 Comp turbo, so I defer to Scott on
this matter.  Personally, my turbo is still sitting on the shelf waiting to
go on the AAN, which is still waiting to go in the CQ.  Once all that
happens, I won't know quicker spool-up from shinola, since so many variables
will have changed (and since I don't have a regular RS2 turbo in the first
place).  It's all relative I guess.

Comp these days, is to order the RS2 turbo complete, and add larger cold
side wheel/housing.

Or, one might be pleasantly surprised to find that after doing step 1, they
do not have to do step 2.  BTDT.

Somebody check my math.
