[s-cars] RS2 turbo and EM install questions

[RM]

FWIW, yeah, i'm careful. On a 1400 mile round trip from PA to Maine last 
winter, i think i used WOT 2 times total, so it's not as though i hammer the 
car. The other thing, BC this is typically my winter ski trip car, i always 
allow the engine to warm up enough before driving to allot heat soak to warm 
the boost hoses. They may be original, but they are at least warm when i 
boost it...
