Chad, 
 Yea, I was out there in the wife's RS2'd Avant last year and it was pretty 
bad. One thing I really noticed between my car with the stromung and 4" cold 
air intake and port and polished head compared to her RS2'd but otherwise stock 
exhaust and ait intake is that my car had way better throttle responce. Hers 
would still spool up a bit quicker but off boost it is a dog and out there it 
was even worse so if you guy haven't already ported and polished your head and 
have a big exhaust and intake do it and this will help alot. Oh BTW I still 
have Haps old ported and polished head for sale. I also have a stock one if 
someone wants to buy it and have it done so that there is no down time.
