It also has 2 different turbine housings for different A/R... the are both

Which creates an interesting dilemma.  I already have a GT30R that I intend 
to use on my S4 engine rebuild.  The T3 flange on the hot side, however, will 
not work correctly with any Audi produced EM.  The closest match is the SQ EM.  
It has the correct bolt pattern, but has a round outlet vs. the rectangular 
inlet on the T3.  You could only get a marginal port match with these 
components.  At that point, your only other option is to go with a tubular exhaust 
header... and that requires a host of other custom parts... intake, downpipe, 
etc...

IMHO they are the replacement for RS2 turbo, and then some...
And as soon as I get off my ASS I will post pics and a write up of
mine...but I have to get it installed first :)

Question is, what are you using for an EM?  The concept that it would be a 
good upgrade from the RS2 sounds good, but the GT30R is far from a bolt on 
solution.
Good luck,
