    Not just as simple as bolt-on... For one thing the RS2 inlet camshaft doesn't have a gear to drive your dissy - so you'll need to swap the Inlet cam for starters.

    Also worth knowing is that the higher lift exhaust cam from the RS2 may require remapping to cater for it properly.

    Valves are identical on S2 and RS2 heads - so are the port shapes - not worth doing unless you have a cracked or coked up head and need a quick swap.
