[s-cars] RS2 turbo and EM install questions

[Sean Douglas]

I ran the RS2 turbo, RS2 EM, stock injectors and MAF with MTM 1+/3.0 bar for a 
while with no issues.

Even when I added the injectors, MAF and updated software, I did not notice a 
drop in fuel consumption.

BTW, Samcos and an aftermarket BPV is a nice thing to have, but not required. 
I'm still using stock boost hoses and a 710N BPV with no issues and 25 psi. 
Most people blame the stock hoses for failure, but its because they are 
original and cracking. The x-over to IC hose (aka Michelin Man) is the only 
one that is known to fail because oil sits in the ribs and eats away the 
rubber.

Also, you don't need to remove the bumper to get access to install these items.
