RS2 - Defined by 2 of sorts
The RS2 refers to the porsche spec'd audis that are for Euro only buyers,
that basically have upgrades on all the performance of the car including
brakes suspension wheels tires and a Porsche Spec'd (RS2) Turbocharger unit
that boosts the 20v turbo motor to the 310hp+++ configuration...... Now,
that Turbo is a KKK turbo, but the secret pieces parts (hot side
housing/turbine, cold side housing/impellor) are by Porsche, for Porsche....
And they know their turbos..... You can buy the RS2 turbo itself (or so
they say), and I gots one of the first ones from Ned, and paid a fortune for
it...... Well that one has been in and out of my car 6 times, with various
mods (I just can't leave anything alone) along the way. Now, I have replace
that one with what I call a RS2 stage VIII, of which only 3 exist in the US
today, and I have put that in my massively tweeked 5ktq...... And that lowly
RS2 got tweeked to stage III status (and flows somewhere in the 'hood of 1/3
more air, and that's colder air, than a "stock" RS2, which flows about 1/3
more colder air than the stock k26 unit found in most TQ apps of the last
decade)...... So, the desire for the RS2 is high, and more of the satiation
to follow very soon (see earlier post)......
