    When I bought it











    This car was purchased new from Continental Motors in Fairfield CT (now Audi Fairfield) on December 25, 1995 and was Delivered to it's owner a month later.
    Upon Delivery, the following modification was done:
    Part # NPN-RS2KIT
    Description - Perf Mod Kit
    Price $1192.50

    This was a DEALER INSTALLED RS2 Exhaust manifold and Lehmann Stage 1 chips

    This was verified by Hoppen Motorsports. They have receipts for a sale of this kit to Continental Motors in Late December 1995

    Work done in the 6 months prior to my purchase
    Control arms
    Tie Rods
    ignition coil
    front brake kit
    wheel bearings
    timing belt
    water pump
    serp belts
    new turbo gaskets
    new radiator hoses
    spark plugs
    cylinder head dismantle/clean, new valve guides honed to size, pressure test, valve grind, valve guides, cylinde rhead resurface
    new head gasket and bolt kit
    new exhaust manifold studs
    new battery
    new CV joints and boots
    new ball joints

    Fuel pump and filter replaced in August of 06


    Things it needs:
    suspension (70k on OE replacements) DONE
    wheels (I didn't buy the summer wheels he was offering... I didn't like them or the tires) DONE
    new headlight lenses (one is cracked)
    Driver's side seat is a little more worn then I like... and the heater element is busted
    a GOOD wash and a buffing. DONE

    blower motor squeaks sometimes. just a minor annoyance. DONE

    Long term plans:
    I'd personally like to do a GT28RS or GT2871R kit with all the fixins, but that's not in the budget for a long time.
    For now, I'm going to maintain it and drive it and enjoy the ample power it already has.
    If the turbo fails... I'll do a turbo kit
    if the exhaust springs a leak, I'll get an exhaust

      That is a very nice looking UrS6 you have there. I have the impression the owner takes good care of her. Enjoy!

        the wheels are a temporary solution for now. I got them for $200 with brand new tires, so it was just a 'get these awful 15" snow tires off!'
        I'm looking at some rather strange wheel options varying from Porsche wheels to Corvette wheels (!!!)


        and, no... I'm not one of those scenester/hipster VW fellas... I just like the way the Corvette wheels look.

          We did an RS2 turbo upgrade with 034 RS2 software. On FIRST start we had a lot of smoke... it would go away after it was warmed up so we thought it might just go away on it's own...
          Unfortunately the smoke never subsided... looks like a blown turbine seal
          the seller wasn't willing to offer any type of partial refund or assistance, HOWEVER:
          Marc Swanson at EFIExpress sent me an email a few weeks ago and offered to have the turbo rebuilt for me and all I have to pay is shipping back and forth to Borg Warner! I'm eternally grateful to him. He's a real standup guy and I can't recommend his products enough.

          I still brought it to dyno day to see if the all the headaches were worth it.

          and an example of the smoke (not as bad as if I had just started it though.

                Chap is right

                You know I have done the exact same and am trying to get some time on the local Mustang dyno. I don't think I am getting more than 27lbs so we will see how it works out initially, but I love having your numbers as a referance!

                          Sorry I am slow ...I guess if I had read the first part I would have known it was a K24-7200.

                            Nice car and nice graph!

                            I would have expected more torque at 28.4psi, but then I noticed that you are running way rich, close to 10:1 at peak torque.
