If you have no reason to keep your OEM turbo and would otherwise be throwing it in the garbage, it is a moot point, as it is refunded by simply mailing the unit back in to get your refund- which would get you back to $3999.
However, some will wish to keep their OEM turbo for a reversability and/or backup factor (this is a common undeniable concern); and if this is YOU and with the N55 you have a large pill to swallow at a $1500 core charge. Regardless of your situation, with the RB full kit, we will not need your core. This means you can sell it to someone perhaps doing the Vargas N55 Hybrid for whatever you wish you can get for it (which would act as a rebate), or keep it as a backup. You will not be penalized for doing as such as we have no use for the unit as we feel it will not make much additional power by modifying it.
At this point, you can see there is some good reason to say the core issue is a tangible price discussion point. If it were $500 or so like the N54 units, unlike the $1500 it actually is, it would be less of an issue.

Clarification:
Vargas has stated " Our upgrade is $3999 with core exchange, "
Does it mean what Rob has suggested of an addition of $1500 to the price for the core ..... or does "with" mean included in the price?
This is a huge difference... and is a major deciding factor for those looking to surpass 400whp on their N55... however the final numbers if attainable (500whp - 550whp) would prove its worth....
Else
In comparison if Rob base falls within the ball park of Vargas hybrid... then the core cost of Vargas benefits Rob...
