yeah, to all accounts, there is a 400hp rs2 running around wellington here in
godzone.  not sure how this has been done, certainly a chip upgrade although
scott also says that there is a 400hp mod which involves tweaking the turbo
(which apparently is a made-specially-for-porsche by kkk one which *is*
tweakable, but is apparently quite a nice turbo application)....

i drove the s2 (my last drive in it) up from wellington last night, and
reflected that it is a really fast, comfortable, good handling car. driving the
ur-quattro this morning, reminded of why i'm selling it....

pick up the rs2 today - yipee !!
