[s-cars] RS2 turbo and EM install questions

[Pasqualoni, James E]

If I were contemplating this, I think I would want to ask Emre the
following:  
 
1. Do you think 24.5 psi coming from a K24 flows as much air as a RS2 at
24.5 psi? 
2. Does the setup you mention work because the charge air is so much cooler
coming from an RS2 in comparison to a K24?
3. You don't think increased airflow versus unchanged fuel values can
contribute to lean running? 
4. Does the ECU somehow compensate for this?
 
At least get yourself a wideband A/F gauge if you're going to do it.  I
wouldn't put much stock into what others do.  For instance, did Tom M have
RS2 injectors on his motor?  How about the AW folks?  I bet if any of these
guys was to pull their plugs, they'd look crusty white-a sure sign of
running a lean mixture.
 
I'm not doing this to be argumentative, I'd just hate to see someone kill
their motor.

Jim,
 
Speculation aside, it's been proven by many a'lister and AW'er. Take it for
what it's worth, but I don't remember any of them saying they blew their
engines. Use comon sence, if you hear any detonation, back off on the gas
pedal.

TAP chip with RS2 turbo and EM with stock everything else is just fine. A 
local to me recently found out that he had an RS2 turbo and EM while only
running Lehman stage 1 with 3 BAR MAP for quite a while, and parts looked
old, like they've been on there for many years with just the mild 
programing.

Tom M. also did this set up, while waiting for his tune from Mihnea.

Emre-so you don't think this will result in a lean mixture?  Even though the

RS2 flows more air than the K24 at equivalent boost levels?  I say be
careful here.
