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

[Peter Schulz]

Yep. Go figure.

No interest in doing it right.  de Mrs daily driver.
Mtm 1+ is plenty for her.

Timing belt job imminent, don't want to have to deal with draining coolant 2x.  When I do the TB, going to replace all the radiator hoses, pull the RS2 turbo, install a low mileage K24.
done..

yep, non traditional, but Rs2ing a 260k mile AAN will just accelerate the need for rod and main bearing replacement.

The Rs2 is going on the shelf as a spare for the RS2'd eS2.
