[s-cars] engine rebuild

[Martin Baggenstos]

Everyone,

  I just got the answer to why my 1995 S6 with 168,000 miles on it is
smoking so much and it is because of excessive leaking around the rings in
the engine and I am now told that my solution to fix it is going to be an
engine replacement or rebuild. I was quoted around 3500 for a rebuild by
2bennett and wanted to find out if this seems reasonable. I am currently
running an RS2 setup with MRC software and if I go ahead with a rebuild, I
am considering upgrading the turbo and software. Has anyone upgraded to the
turbos and software that 034motorsports offer and do you like it compared to
an RS2 setup. I am looking for something that is still drivable in the city
as I don't plan to track the car but has more power than my current RS2
setup and I still would like a good low end response without the lag from
the really large turbos they offer.  Thanks.

Martin
