[s-cars] Lets just say...KKK turbo and ECU musings...

[robert weinberg]

so you have an RS2 turbo on a stock 20V avant?

yeah, you'll still have lag, but the car will go apeshit once it hits boost with the appropriate chip. THOUGH, you are really taxing the stock injectors and fuel pump with a chip and RS2 turbo.

so, no interest in "doing it right"? meaning, EM, injectors, FPR and a dyno tuned chip? or you don't wanna invest in the endeavor?

question to all. at this point, isn't a modern ball bearing garrett turbo better than the RS2 turbo these days anyway?

Robby

If anything, it will run a little on the rich side, anyway.
