[s-cars] Re: RS2 Turbo install

[Mtgadbois at aol.com]

Maybe I got lucky or maybe the Audi gods were trying to make up for the POS  
I once had, an 83 UrQ, a veritable money pit.  My 95.5 S6 does not have a  
perfect body.  It a few door dings and scratches here and there and a  crease I'm 
not going to fix but every fastener comes out without a  problem.  There is 
no corrosion anywhere.  When I took off the  cylinder head did the timing belt, 
etc. there were no problems.   When I think of going to a "prettier" S6 I 
think of how much I've done to  this one, how much I would have to do to the next 
one and how well this one  comes apart.  So happily the S and I roll forward, 
now at 120K with  Mihnea's RS2 configuration, euro sport springs and 
Bilsteins and S6+ HIDs.

Well, I  broke 2 trying to get them out with the double nut method..
Unless you want  potential headaches leave the turbo outlet studs alone.

I am not  talking about the EM hardware, as he is not putting an EM on.
