In second gear on drying wet pavement second gear in full boost on a small grade = yard rallying. Spinning all 4 wheels is fun until you sail through someones front yard. (i didnt get that far but i was picking points to hit).

Default Yes, there is a limit to how much power is prudent for the street.

I made the same mistake with my Corrado. It has WAY too much torque for a FWD chassis. For this reason when I upgrade the turbo on my S6 it will be replaced with a GT2871RS. That should be a good balance between power, lag and a reliable car I can drive everyday with stock engine internals.

Default Just like running with scissors. Always fun...

until somebody loses an eye.

So are you going to do a vid going around and around a traffic circle?

Default I was thinking a T03/KKK hybrid, myself.

Journal bearing robustness, no changes needed to exhaust routing, uses off-the shelf RS2 tuning.

Well, that's the rumor.

Default Thinking the same as you

on turbo size. Need to install my Eibachs and possibly go BBK this upcoming year first. Turbo maybe after that.
