[s-cars] For Participants in the 2004 "RS2" turbo GB

[David Forgie]

Rob: Thanks.  What I was expecting (hoping for) was something like this:
http://www.bufkinengineering.com/Turbo_3628(640X480).JPG

I vaguely remember some discussion about these odd numbers that you list way 
back in 2004 but I also remember that we all finally agreed that somehow they 
were RS2 spec turbos even without the "7200" etc.

The reason I am asking is someone recently bought one of our Vancouver club cars that had
been RS2'd (along with mine and Sean D.) off that 2004 GB and now the turbo has apparently
FUBAR'd.  He wants to get the turbo rebuilt but the numbers on the turbo do not
correspond to anything in the Borg Warner KKK catalogue to get the parts.
