[s-cars] Cheap? RS2 EMs on ebay

[jpb3]

Based on the second to last photo it does seem to have oem "casting #'s "
although we do not get a picture showing them head on.  Also, I assume the
OEM manifold is cast as well and for the uninformed "cast iron" Vs. "cast
alloy of steel" is nothing more than wordplay.

I have been thinking of going tubular when that day comes although at that
price if it is OEM I will buy that mani and let it marinate on a shelf until
that day comes.  I mean, with that mani, PROPERLY tuned GT3071, FMIC and
Stromung I should be looking at 380-400whp right?

On another note is EPL now doing software tuning for the URS-cars?  That
could be what us East Coasters need for these GT turbo's.
