rs2 brakes and turbo problems

[stu_sclater]

Hi,I've just imported a mint(or so i thought)black rs2 full leather and 70k miles on the clock.The problem is the disc's feel as though they are warped,anyone know where i can get some new ones with out costing me to much.And also there seems to be a problem with the turbo,the boost does not start building till 3500 and only really gets going at about 5000,any ideas on these problems would be greatly apprieciated.Other than that the cars great.Cheers for your help........

You can get cheap discs from here if your car has standard brakes.

You may have a boost leak or you may have a bigger non-original turbo that spools up later.

Do a search for boost leaks on this forum and on www.s2forum.com

Getting brake parts from Porsche or a discount Porsche parts shop such as www.type-911.co.uk or www.design911.co.uk are often cheaper than Audi.

Have a look at this previously posted list of Porsche brake parts that are used (in theory) on a RS2. I did not compile this list so cannot guarantee its accuracy.

How horrible. Sorry about that, don't know how that happened. I made the zip file from a MS word document as this site wouldn't let me attach a word doc.

I cant seem to delete the attached file.

No worries mate.

I know you didn't do it on purpose but I didn't want you to pass it on either.

on the turbo issue...i can understand that the turbo starts to kick in on 3000rpm,but then it only kicks in at 22psi around 3700rpm.If it gradually goes up could this mean that i need a turbo service?
i am going to have one with my timing belt change in about 10000km but i was just wondering from the syptoms....

in general are there any symptoms of a turbo service requirement?

I had the same problems with my brakes. New discs and "homefixed" calipers.With Porsche logo... The result was not so bad:)
