Would like some feedback in regards to the RB Turbos vs the Vargas Turbos, i have decided i will upgrade them just not sure which seems the smarter buy.

i will be running supporting mods with this setup like:
AR downpipes
ER Competition FMIC
ER Charge Pipe With 2 meth bungs
Tial BOV
Meth Injection.

And obviously a tune, to be selected.

What are peoples thoughts ?
With regards RB turbochargers versus VTT "Stage 2" turbos and their "custom" TF035HL exhaust wheel, I could say much...

But in all fairness to Vargas I will await "proper" dyno results from jpsimon and turbomikes car over on BimmerBxxxx.

To be honest from initial reports based on preliminary tuning, the VTT Stage 2's are performing better than I and I suspect Rob expected them to, but we shall see.

If you are not in a hurry for "upped" turbos, sit tight for 3 months or so, after which the pros and cons of both will be much clearer.

Cheers,

JD.
