N55 Tester Still Needed
Ok, I am honestly slightly surprised we do not have people knocking down the door to get their car in as a tester. Our AT tester and I decided it best to go with someone else as I explained that we cannot guarantee his transmission or his engine for that matter can hold up to the new found power levels. This is all uncharted territory. The engine we are not so worried about, but the tranny could be an issue, but you never find these things out if you do not push.
Here is what we are looking for a late 2011 - early 2012 N55 AT, MT, or DCT. We have no real preference, what you get is this upgrade at parts cost ONLY, no labor, no tuning time, no dyno fees, you pay our cost for the parts and its yours to keep after we are done testing. Your car needs to at least have, DP upgrade, Intake, Charge pipe upgrade, if it does not we will give you our cost on those as well and install them at the same time. You will have to buy an AP or JB4 for the tuning but this is also something you keep after you are done. Cobb has told us they will be ready with the ATR when we are to get tuning. The upgrade is completed and sitting on the shelf as of yesterday waiting for a test car so we an fit the lines and get going. Once the car is here it will not sit around, installation will start the next day and we will get moving. If anyone is interested, email me directly at Tony@vargasturbo.com. Look forward to speaking with you. Note: There will be a waiver involved that will need to be signed that states we are not responsible for tranny, engine or any other drive train damage. This is just standard for any sort of testing, but I do not want it to come as a surprise. Last edited by Tony@vargasturbotech; 10-09-2013 at 02:39 PM.. |

Partner with an east coast shop like VAC, fly out to the east coast with the parts, get one installed, tuned, make massive numbers, set up production and distribution channels, ?????, profit.

We actually do a lot with VAC. I speak with Mike all the time. Very good people. If we do not get a local tester soon we may just do that. Problem is, this first install is going to be used to build the lines to be sold with the kits etc. Its not a direct bolt on yet, as we have a couple lines we need to adapt. Once we do that, its a plug and play as the lines will comes with every turbo.

We are in Norcal, still looking. Had a few emails but no one serious, seems like we are on the wrong coast for this right now.. Also part of the beauty of this upgrade is it would not void your warranty as it would appear stock from the outside and if you flashed back to a normal tune, they dealership would have a hard time detecting the upgrade

As an SF bay area local I'd gladly donate my car but I can't survive without one and don't have enough extra money at the moment =/. Good luck!

Tester issue is solved. Jeff at BMS is just going to ship us his car. It's a win win for everyone. Terry already bought an upgrade, we will install it for him, develop the lines, verify diverter valve function etc. Then drive the car back down to terry and let them test avd tune it. Once we gets the lines and all that done we can start shipping to the pre-orders and other tuning methods, Cobb, vishnu, etc can be utilized. Thanks to Terry and Jeff at BMS. This is by far the best solution for the test car.
