The original OE RS2 turbo has a Audi PN of 034 145 703 D (old number) or
034 145 702 B (new number). The OE manufacturer was KKK and their PN for this turbo was
53249707200 (7200 designates RS2). The serial number plate should look something like this:



The 2004 RS2 turbo group buy turbos were arranged through Jeff Labombard who did the GB with Tim at TJM Motorsports (also Northern European) in NH. At the time Tim was just
starting with Dalback racing and had the ability to get the Turbos through
his connection in Sweden. Dahlback had a special turbo run done by KKK and Jeff and Tim tapped into that for 20 turbos. Jeff recalled that it took an extra couple months. All parties involved had impeccable credentials and the turbos came from the same production line as the Audi part. They are genuine factory parts, just not labeled for the VW/Audi parts system. The upper line on the 2004 GB turbo serial number plate reads k24 1335. The lower line on plate has the actual serial number like: 24 4089063. Or as shown in this photo from Mike S.:

I believe some of these are still around and for sale at Force5. Chris said he has about 10-20 of them sitting BNIB and that they were some 'special RS2' build.
I know Northern European shares the same lot with Force5

also, whatever happened to TJM Motorsport anyway?

If so, they are NOT part of that 2004 GB. However, they could be the exactly the same build spec's except a second run (or another part of the first run).

Good to know.

possible. I never fully investigated

Question is, how much does he want for one?
