[s-cars] Upgrades

[JR]

What are the pros and cons of going with the RS2 turbo over the stock 
K24?  How much of a performance increase is there with the RS2 Turbo 
setup?  What 0-60 and 1/4 mile times could one expect after this 
upgrade?  What does this upgrade do to your fuel economy (I'm only 
asking because I just got bent over at the gas station for over $2 per 
gallon of premium and I'm still sore.).  I already have the Samco 
hoses.  What else on the car is likely to blow up if I add this much 
more power?

If the RS2 package is only a good start, what were you referring to 
beyond this?  A different turbo altogether?  Different software?  Nitrous???

Thanks,

JR
