    Wanted: RS2 Turbo

    Had a dodgy one from ebay which has been sent back and now a couple of others slip through my fingers!!!

    If anyone has a decent RS2 turbo they want to part with - let me know.

        No no! dont listen to Jamo, RS2 turbo is very fast mate! And lets be honest you really want low down usable torque instead of that extra 50hp that you will only really fell at the top of the rev range.

        Be sensible and buy an rs2 turbo

            Only took you 3 minutes Jamo

            There just seem to be uncertainties with the 2871 that make me unsure, attached with an extra cost.

                No - he's clearly a busy guy and selective about who he deals with!

                He has never replied to any pm's ive sent, so dont see why he'd start now lol.

                    There are few on German Ebay at the moment. There's one at 949 euros but another at 1750 euros, both say they are new and appear to be 'buy it now' prices so why there's such a difference I don't know. How much should they be new ?

                      id take the top end. mid range is used to get you there once. when we change at 6500 i wanna be at the start of full boost not the middle to end.

                      i have had cars pull a car length or 2 on me in a gear. in the next one im disapearing into the distance. their mid range helped them for a car or 2. my top end helps me for the rest of the gears.

                      sometimes i miss midrange. not much though.

                      its each to their own of course. for everyday blipping a bus the midrange helps. may as well be a tdi though and save on locomotion lotion

                            Cheers guys.

                            The ones on ebay are germany delivery only, and the one at €550 has a fair few miles on it and seems pretty expensive for what you're getting!

                            If i was to look at buying a new RS2 turbo i may as well spend about the same on the 2871.

                            Cheers Andy, have dropped AET an email to see if they have any first off.
