Default Spooling Characteristics of GT28r vs. GT28rs ?

I'm trying to figure out which turbo to buy and need to know how early I could get each respective turbo to hit full boost. I know Eurocode can give me software for the rs, but will AWE sell the software for the r seperately? Thanks

Default The RS is a better turbo. Get the .64 hotside and have another ~50 hp w/ almost identical spool...

over the R.

Default Re: Agreed...

And I have been in many of both those cars. The rs can now be had in a .64 housing and that was gods gift for the 1.8T. The bigger .84 a/r housing is laggy but the .64 is a boost machine.
UTurbo, you will be kicking yourself in the azz if you dont go with the RS.

Default hmmm....another question

Is there really a 1000 rpm difference between the two. I'd be happy with only 40 less hp and spooling 1000 rpm sooner...<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1478398">here</a></li></ul>
