and Level 10s kit for the "bullet proof" tranny is a joke IMO ive poked around and the its nothing more than a ZF rebuld kit with a bored out valvebody. i think for auto trannys we need to space out the gears to shift harder but not to hard to break the teeth and at high horse power that should prevnt slipping. I dunno thats how im looking at it right now. i could be wrong.. |

Do we have an idea of what the stage 2's max psi will be?

19psi tapering off to 17psi would probably be a safe, high power boost curve.

I see these turbos use factory wastegates. Do the RBs as well?
I know the arms and flappers are much better on both these products over stock. |

not sure if you're confused. RBs use an upgraded arm as well as a new billet flap. these will have whatever internal wastegate the turbos come with.
you couldn't just take off the stock wastegates and fix them to these new turbos and furthermore, nobody would. an internal wastegate is machined as part of the entire turbo. |

I think from what we have seen of updates and follow ups by others here on this forum when it comes to new products for our cars, that Vargas and company deserve some credit , they have kept us in the loop and provided pictures and info along the way. Expecting them to give individual information on a daily basis is little too much. And giving wrong information about their product is not nice These turbos dont get made by themselves , someone has to make them... So be patient

I personally e-mailed Vargas and spoke to Tony via e-mail. I explained my situation, currently in Afghanistan and asked him my questions and time frame on the stage 2 kit. This would be a Saturday back in the states.
I was not expecting a response, but not only did I get a response, I got one within the hour answering all of my questions. The customer service was impressive, considering I was talking to the man that designed the stuff. The kit is cheaper than others and I cannot wait to place my order. I already have the details worked out with my shop/mechanic back home and we both look forward to the project. Tony seems like a stand up guy and is here for the community, not just to make a buck; which is something that I look for in a company that I am going to do business with.

His fast response is definitely a plus. I think my first email to him was just a general email regarding core price and timeframe for stage 2. Needless to say I found myself putting in my preorder a couple days later.
