the cam in the rs2 makes quite a difference in comparison to the k24 in my ur-q
imho. where the k24 runs out of puff at around 4,500 and starts to get a bit
rough, the rs2 really starts to sing (sounds wonderful).
i appreciate that the turbo's breathing accounts for some of this change as
does the manifold and intake design. but the effect is so noticable and so
purely "top-end" that i'd swear that it was mainly the cam...
