Vargas seems very promising based on initial numbers. The tech is very experienced overall but not on the N54 platform. There have been a couple of mistakes with his turbos, but they seem to be careless mistakes due to him just getting into this particular setup.

I think that, in time, Vargas will end up being the way to go, but it's a waiting game when it comes to numbers and test builds.
