Nice rare car both in colour and with the MTM modifications. That said, there are some additional, non-MTM modifications that warrant some comment (not meant as criticisms but as facts):
The "S" badge on the rear hatch is incorrect. The correct badge (still available on eBay) looks like the lower one in this photo:
The wastegate is non-stock. Presumably there is a compatible wastegate control valve in there somewhere that controls both the upper and lower chambers (there are two lines, stock only has one).
MTM would not have used a Greddy turbo so that isn't part of the original mods. MTM would have likely used some variety of KKK turbo.
The original brake booster on the RS2 was a hydraulic system, not a vacuum system. MTM would not have made a modification using a Japanese vacuum booster.
That gold covered wire is non-stock and not an MTM modification. It is probably part of an aftermarket stereo install. There are better places to ground than the coil pack plate.
One point of criticism is the turbo intake. It is probably supposed to be a "cold air" intake but I don't see any shielding to prevent hot air from being drawn from the engine bay. The piping also looks like a bottle-neck with all those bends. I would wonder if the piping on the inside is as rough as on the outside (due to the welding). I am sure there are others here who can suggest better alternatives.

infact it looks the same size as the wastegate output
