Re: turbos power

[rdh@sli.com (Robert D. Houk)]

   Let me assure that the smaller S4 is not the preffered set up for the 10v
   cars, and its K24 base is not as HD as the k26, you can get the same and more
   power out of the stock K26 if you look into it, and the RS2turbo puts the
   S4turbo in the dust, without the increased compression....   Not just thinkin
   here  :~)

But what is the "response" of the RS2 ?

The "S4" retrofitted to a otherwise stock (well, Schrick cam...) UrQ 10V

-builds 7psi at 2000rpm -- what does the RS2 do at 2000rpm?

-builds 11psi at 2500rpm, response time around a second...

-virtually instantaneous full-boost response at 3000 (from full vacuum
 throttle closed operation)

I make no claims that the "S4" will ultimately outpower the "RS2". But
I find it hard to believe the "RS2" will have as snappy an "around town"
response as the "S4" unit. TANSTAAFL...

Peak HP is not the only performance parameter . . .
