Dave,

These turbos were sourced directly from KKK and were produced in a  
special run for this
group buy.  Since Audi was not involved there are no VW/Audi part  
numbers or markings
on the data plates.  I believe Tim was able to buy directly because  
of his Dahlback ties.
At that time neither Audi nor KKK had any RS2 turbos in stock, so  
unless they were
convinced to restock from this run you are unlikely to see any  
genuine parts except for the
NOS parts that were already distributed to suppliers.

At least, that is my recollection of events.

Tom
