Teaser pics: Mark's E88 135i Vargas Stage 2 N55

Yesterday we began testing local customer Mike's N55 E88 135i that we just finished installing a Vargas Stage 2 N55 turbo on.
The car is FBO (AR DP's, Dinan intake, exhaust, and FMIC) fueled by E50 + Meth and Dzenno of protuningfreaks is artfully controlling the ecu via the Cobb Accessport V3 stacked onto a Jb4 with custom firmware (Thanks Terry).

This should be good!

Here is a quick street log from the N55. Notice the spool we are getting, it can vary up and down a little with temps etc, But were generally getting 10psi by around 2200-2400, 15psi by around 2600, and the major one 20 psi by around 2900. You will also want to notice before the N55 was having a hard time holding anything above 18psi or so to redline. We have now with much testing, discovered the road block in holding boost to redline, and as you can see , removed it. Whether or not this extra boost will add a lot of power over what has been made, remains to be seen, we were and are having major misfiring issues, even at lower boost making it extremely hard to get full pulls in, we replaced all spark plugs, and coils, and will continue testing. So far so good though.

Looks awesome!

On a side note, you don't need a separate account for 1addicts.

EVERYTHING that was going on right now was created by Rob, we were getting along just fine, emailing back and forth, sharing info, just doing what you do with you are two businesses working in the same platform. When he decided to go on the N54 section of this forum, and flat out lie about what we were doing, to the point where I told him to send someone down to prove he was lying, which he did, and then he issued an apology and tried to paypal me $100 to make up for it, that was where the line is drawn. Purposely trying to sabotage someone business because you are insecure about your own will not be tolerated, if you cannot understand that, well I am sorry

VTT haters never miss a chance to wine or flame on Tony every time he starts a new thread, get a life people.
World is simple, you don't like a product? Don't buy it.
The ONLY Stage ll out there is VTT's, he delivered as promised unlike other vendors who dropped the ball after giving a deadline. But hey, you wanna keep waiting over forum "etiquette"? Be my guest.

Looking forward to seeing more info on this bad boy

Some BMW friends and I read and discussed that whole thread and we all came to the conclusion that it more or less made you both seem like idiots. That's the only time I've seen Rob acting a fool but you do it for no reason all the time. Maybe you just drink too much. I've made myself look foolish like that before when being black-out drunk.
