Vargas customer service sucks. I'm going threw a similar situation with Rb but rob is totally doing every thing he can to help me. We believe the oil drain tubes are bad I'm going to put new upgraded ones on Friday. What happens is that the drains are barely good enough for the stock turbos. The oil in the drains backs up fills up the tube backs up into the turbo and comes out the back of the turbo. Unless you have play in your turbo you may not have a blown turbo at all. I also changed my valve cover with no success. There are 3 valves in the valve cover and can cause a problem. But if I fix my problem with the drains I'll post a review.

oh and +1 on vargas for shitty service.. i've been trying to contact tony for the last 2 weeks multiple emails and he always has an excuse to why he hasn't replied. Good to know he values customers that have spent in excess of 2-3k on a product.

I'm waiting for the Rb upgraded oil drains now

I cannot believe Vargas' s response to this considering Tony publicly BERATES Rob Beck for literally the exact same thing that he is doing. Same turbo problems and SAME exact excuse for why the turbo(s) are messed up. In my opinion, these stock housings just can't take the abuse.
