The K24 designation indicates the size of the bearing housing and bearings,
but not necessarily the same cold side and hot side components as the one in
the mag...   You can prolly use the S4 turbo on this app, but it may or may
not be the exact same wheels and housings that you have in the S4, but the
k24 should be a bolt on install if MTM has done it......  Call 'em and ask if
it is indeed the S4 app, should be easy to answer that question.........
   The RS2 is a K26 based turbo, not a k24, and will (in stock form)
sacrifice some low end torque for hi end hp......  From what I remember of
your posts Ben, you have a slushbox in that car......  You might be more
disappointed with the RS2 than happy when doing the swap.......  Let us know
what you and your dad do....
