Default Old article on MTM RS2

<a href="http://www.s2-audi.co.uk/articles/vag_jul_95.htm">Volkswagen Audi Car July 1995</a>

Things I found interesting:
- MTM used 10x17 wheels on the <b>front</b> and 8.5x17 wheels on the back to improve handling.
- They somehow shortened the boost plumbing enough to (reportedly) improve throttle response dramatically.

Default on the shortened plumbing

you can clearly see the MTM intake. Same one that Alex used in his 90q20vt and similar in approach to my DIY solution on my ex 4kq20vt. No need for a crossover pipe since the intercooler _becomes_ the means for getting air across the front of the car.

Turbo-&gt;short pipe-&gt;IC-&gt;short pipe-&gt;intake manifold.

Default Hate to be picky but that was an MTM-tuned S2. In the same issue, ....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/61424/mtmrs2intake.jpg"></center><p>which is the July 1995 issue of VW Audi Car, on pg. 27 there is an article about the RS2 (wagon) entitled "Warrior King".

The MTM S2 was also written up in the June 1995 issue of European Car, entitled "RSR-Exocet: MTM boosts the Audi S2's performance and image". This includes a bit of history about Roland Mayer (Motoren Technik Mayer - MTM) and his involvement in 20vt tuning.

The MTM changed the intake manifold as per the photo. The Wagner intake that was on ebay is basically a copy of the MTM intake.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wagner-Tuning-Intake-for-Audi-S2-RS2-S4-200-20VT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36474QQitemZ802680 1644QQrdZ1">Ebay Wagner tuning intake</a></li></ul>
