Perhaps I should've started here...

As Newsh says it would be prudent to boost leak test them both, I do mine once a month now as regular maintenance.

The N reg one has all new pipe work and a rebuilt head done very recently by Danny at DNA as well as coil pack conversion. MRC have also done a lot of work on it.

The other one has been had a ton of money thrown at it by Audi and the next owner was pretty fastidious with maintenance after that, seems to go every bit as well as the first one Charlie got.

They are awesome to drive, I was highly impressed by the car I drove back yesterday.

But yes we should leak test them and pull the fault codes this week, just to be sure there's no tiny leaks.

Righto, I shall consult with you tomorrow after work. I'll see if I can get a decent insurance policy on the new RS2, and also take a look at the A4.

Oh, and I've put what pictures I have up, which was a tiresome affair having to do only 3 at a time whilst waiting for the site to resize them all... Most of them were in my garage anyway...

I'm not great at the photo's thing either, taking them in a size the site doesn't have to do anything with would help speed things up.

Newsh also had a good point, it would probably be worth at least trying a tried and tested chip set or getting a custom map before changing turbos as that might give you the power delivery your looking for. I have a feeling your after a little more than that though with the extra weight of an RS2.

There again a custom map on one of the new generation of billet wheeled RS2 turbos would give you a significant power/torque increase without altering the appearance under the bonnet. I think Will at VRS in Northampton would also be worth consulting, I'm pretty sure they can supply the Iroz units and arrange mapping.

Anyway much to consider before you decide on what go for.

Got to say welcome to the forum fella and am well jell!!! Having just picked up 2xRS2 you are a lucky chap!! Looking forward to seeing your plans materialise and both cars look superb!!

Leak tested the M reg car yesterday afternoon, the MAF hose was sat poorly on the the compressor inlet causing a minor leak also we found a slight leak on the turbo/intercooler hose on cooler end. Fix both those issues and she's fine now

All looks good underneath as well apart from the exhausts which days are numbered at any length.

I tried TPS on the header tank today and it my be NLA, so the best best is to find a good decent hand one to save getting bummed by Audi Tradition.

Just goes to show that it's always work leak testing an S2/RS2 even if the car seems to be running perfectly.

hope you had a good day at VRS!

Welcome Charlie....2 RS2's, mental



I seen these on the forum before and thought they were already yours, oh well must keep up in future.

What's the spec on the turbo??

[K Simmonds]

That looks like an interesting bit of kit, what spec is it and what's it capable of?

[diesel des]

Yep I'm using a bw efr 6758 and like it. These look similar.

Yep, it's an EFR 67 58, good for up to 500bhp apparently...

[diesel des]

Mine tops out on normal unleaded at about 450 bhp. Have a look at my stroker thread for more info. That's with the external waste gate v band housing and a fully built engine. Great response and torque!

The headline figure of 450 bhp sounds ok ish but on the stroker it makes over 400 bhp from 4000rpm to 7500 rpm. Big flat power curve. Also 520 ft lb of torque.

Not running a stroker will push the rpm up that this power is obtained at but you should get similar figured.

That's about what I'm aiming for, Will simply said 500bhp would be the maximum it was capable of but would wind the power back to somewhere over 450bhp.

Just been reading this very nice cars indeed the M reg must of been the one why Kit was late back, kept me waiting to pick up his cam locking tool, mind you driving an Rs2 back i would have done the same and besides all was not lost as my wife and i had a luvly lunch in the local.
