[s-cars] RS2 Turbo install

Mike,

I didn't see any mention of the RS2 exhaust manifold.  I would not  
consider installing
the turbo without the improved flow manifold.  Alex at europrice has  
a full kit of gaskets
nuts and bolts for the install and probably new turbo studs as well.   
He sells manifolds
too.  This is a good time to install Samco hoses and Breeze clamps as  
well.  Or, hold off
on the Samco hoses if you are considering the FMIC from 034 EFI.    
Yeah, I know, we just
doubled your investment before you even start, but this is the way to  
do it.  That's why the
slope is so slippery. :-)

On re-using studs, nuts, etc:  You will have enough to do without  
worrying about their condition
after removal.  You will feel so much better using new hardware  
everywhere.

Tom
